Female adolescents' compliance with contraceptive regimens.

Although today's adolescents have access to a variety of contraceptive options, they remain inconsistent and suboptimal users of these methods. A particularly frustrating problem for those caring for adolescents is the issue of noncompliance with contraceptives, which is an important antecedent of adolescent pregnancy. In the future, new fertility-related developments such as subdermal hormonal implants may reduce the likelihood of noncompliance. For the present, however, systematic monitoring rather than only when noncompliance is suspected is essential in enhancing adolescents' contraceptive compliance.

Sexuality and contraception in adolescents from Barcelona, Spain.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the sexual behavior and contraception use among a sample of high school and vocational school adolescents in Barcelona, Spain. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: A random sample of 3139 students, aged 14 to 19 years, living in the city of Barcelona, were surveyed by means of an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. SPSS/PC+ was used for statistical analysis. Significance criterion was set at 0.01. MAIN RESULTS: 13% of the students had previously participated in sexual intercourse; percentages between the sexes was equal. Frequency increased with age. Boys had their first experience at a significantly earlier age, but girls participated in sexual intercourse more often. The majority of adolescents used condoms as their primary contraceptive method; seven (3.3%) of the sexually active girls had been pregnant, and two (1%) boys had caused their partners to become pregnant. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of sexual activity among adolescents in Barcelona is low compared with those in both European and American studies. However, a higher rate of condom use is observed.

Sexual intercourse, contraception, and risk-taking behavior among unselected French adolescents aged 11-20 years.

An epidemiological study was carried out among 4,255 adolescents, aged 11-19 years, randomly selected from secondary schools in a northern urban area of France. The questionnaire concerned sexual activity, contraception, health status, licit and illicit drug consumption, and other risk-taking behavior. A total of 31% of the adolescents had had sexual relations (43% of the boys, 20% of the girls). Sexual activity increased with age. A large majority (70%) of the sexually active adolescents used some form of contraception. The study confirms the relationship between smoking, drinking, illicit drug consumption, and sexual activity, but shows that contraceptive behavior is not related to problem behavior.
