To assess contraceptive use and child-rearing outcomes, a semistructured interview was given to 92 male psychiatric outpatients and to 92 matched control subjects without major mental illness. Compared with the control subjects, the patients were significantly more likely to have given up children less than 16 years of age for others to raise. Thirty-three percent of the patients who did not want to father children reported that contraception had not been used when they last had heterosexual intercourse. The findings suggest that psychiatrists should identify and reduce male psychiatric patients' risk of fathering unwanted children.
为评估避孕措施的使用情况及育儿结果，对92名男性精神科门诊患者和92名匹配的无重大精神疾病的对照受试者进行了半结构化访谈。与对照受试者相比，患者将16岁以下子女交给他人抚养的可能性显著更高。在那些不想要孩子的患者中，33%报告称他们上次发生异性性行为时未采取避孕措施。研究结果表明，精神科医生应识别并降低男性精神科患者生育非意愿子女的风险。
