Isi artikel

A modified form of nathanson and becker's (1983) health belief model questionnaire and other measures designed to assess cognitive processing were administered to low - income black adolescent female clients of an inner - city comprehensive health care clinic. The purpose of the study was to explore determinants of sexual activity and contraceptive use. Subjects were classified as not sexually active (n = 50), sexually active / non contracepting (n = 20), or sexually active / contracepting (n = 72). Not sexually active subjects tended to be younger, more career motivated, to have afather at home, to be more influenced by family values, and to have more conservative attitudes regarding adolescent sexuality than did sexually active subjects. Sexually active / non contraceptin subjects tended to report fewer benefits and more barriers to the use of contraception. Level of cognitive processing did not differ among the three groups, but was at a lower - than - expected level for age. Finally, inconsistent contraceptive use was common to both sexually active groups.
