This report shows data on a wide range of topics from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), including: pregnancy and birth, marriage, divorce, cohabitation, sexual intercourse, contraception, infertility, use of family planning and other medical services, and health conditions and behavior.
The data in this report are based on in-person interviews with a national sample of 10,847 women 15-44 years of age. The interviews lasted an average of 103 minutes. The response rate was 79 percent. The sample data are adjusted for nonresponse and are national estimates.
Following large increases in the 1970's and 1980's, the proportion of teenagers who have ever had sexual intercourse decreased slightly between 1990 and 1995; condom use, both at first intercourse and currently, has increased markedly since the 1970's. These changes may have contributed to the decreases in the teen birth rate observed in the 1990's. For all women 15-44 years of age, the number whose partner was currently using the condom (at the date of interview) increased from 3.6 million in 1982 to 5.1 million in 1988 and 7.9 million in 1995. About 8 percent of women reported that their first intercourse was not voluntary. This result is consistent with an earlier national survey. About 20 percent reported that they had been forced by a man to have intercourse at some time in their lives. About 10 percent of births in 1990-95 were unwanted by the mother compared with 12 percent in 1984-88. The decrease in unwanted births was particularly large for black women. It appears that the prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and vaginal douching have both decreased since 1988.
本报告展示了1995年全国家庭成长调查（NSFG）中一系列广泛主题的数据，包括：怀孕与生育、婚姻、离婚、同居、性交、避孕、不孕、计划生育及其他医疗服务的使用，以及健康状况与行为。
本报告中的数据基于对10847名15至44岁全国女性样本进行的面对面访谈。访谈平均持续103分钟。回应率为79%。样本数据针对无回应情况进行了调整，为全国性估计值。
在20世纪70年代和80年代大幅上升之后，有过性交经历的青少年比例在1990年至1995年间略有下降；自20世纪70年代以来，首次性交时及当前使用避孕套的情况均显著增加。这些变化可能促成了20世纪90年代青少年生育率的下降。对于所有15至44岁的女性，其伴侣当前（访谈时）使用避孕套的人数从1982年的360万增加到1988年的510万以及1995年的790万。约8%的女性报告称其首次性交并非出于自愿。这一结果与早期的全国性调查一致。约20%的女性报告称她们在生活中的某个时候曾被男性强迫性交。1990 - 1995年约10%的生育是母亲不想要的，而1984 - 1988年这一比例为12%。意外生育的减少在黑人女性中尤为明显。自1988年以来，盆腔炎（PID）和阴道灌洗的患病率似乎均有所下降。
