Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

Most studies of college students' recall of adolescent sources of sexual and contraceptive information have focused

on identification of sources and have not been concerned with the utility of the information. This study was

concerned with the perceived utility of sexual and contraceptive information obtained from various sources during

high school and the relationship between the usefulness of the information obtained from the sources and sexual

behavior during high school and college. Data from 823 white, never-married, undergraduate college students,

interviewed in the fall of 1976, indicate that the recalled utility of this information obtained in high school is related to

both the sex of the respondent and to whether the respondent commenced coital activity in high school, college, or

is still a virgin. Respondent's reports of the degree of useful knowledge they had in high school about specific

contraceptives are also related to gender and sexual experience. (author's) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T
