  • a systematic review of associations between substance use and sexual risk behaviour stis and Unplanned Pregnancy in women
    Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2015
    Co-Authors: Catherine H Mercer, Natalie Edelman, Richard Devisser, Jackie Cassell
    Abstract:

    Background/introduction Associations between substance use and sexual risk among general populations of women may be helpful in the development of a sexual risk assessment tool for community health settings. Aim(s)/objectives To review the evidence for whether smoking, alcohol and drug use variables are associated with reporting of unprotected sexual intercourse, multiple partnerships, STI diagnoses and Unplanned Pregnancy in women aged 16–44 years. Methods Seven electronic databases were searched for probability population surveys published between 31/1/1994 and 31/1/2014 that reported on at least one of the outcomes above. Studies were included on women aged 16–44 years in the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, USA or Canada. An independent reviewer screened 10% of title and abstract exclusions and all full-text papers. Results Three papers were identified. Current smoking was associated with Unplanned Pregnancy in the last year (Wellings 2013) and with current non-use of contraception among women (Xaverius 2009). Reporting ever smoking daily was also associated with reporting larger numbers of lifetime sexual partners (Cavazos-Rehg, 2011). Drug use in the last year (excepting cannabis) was associated with Unplanned Pregnancy (Wellings 2013). Cavazos-Rehg, 2011 found a dose response between lifetime partner numbers and heaviness of marijuana and alcohol use. Conversely Xaverius, 2009 found alcohol use was lower among those reporting current non-use of contraception. Discussion/conclusion No clear direction emerged for the association with alcohol use, in contrast to drug use and smoking. Further research is needed to establish if alcohol has utility in a women’s sexual risk assessment tool for community use.

  • Is a previous Unplanned Pregnancy a risk factor for a subsequent Unplanned Pregnancy?
    American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Lindsay M Kuroki, Jenifer E Allsworth, Colleen A Redding, Jeffrey D Blume, Jeffrey F Peipert
    Abstract:

    The objective of the study was to determine whether a history of Unplanned Pregnancy was a risk factor for a subsequent Unplanned Pregnancy. We analyzed 542 women aged 14-35 years, enrolled in Project PROTECT, a randomized clinical trial to promote dual-method contraception use to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and Unplanned Pregnancy. Predictors of Unplanned Pregnancy were assessed by comparing women with and without a history of Unplanned Pregnancy. More than 1 in 5 women (22.5%) experienced an unintended Pregnancy. History of an unintended Pregnancy was a predictor of unintended Pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio, 1.91; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-3.34). Other factors that were significantly associated with Unplanned Pregnancy included young age and low educational status. Future efforts should focus on bridging the gap between identifying risk factors for Unplanned Pregnancy and interventions aimed at reducing the incidence in high-risk groups.

  • Unplanned Pregnancy: does past experience influence the use of a contraceptive method?
    Obstetrics and gynecology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Kristen A. Matteson, Jenifer E Allsworth, Jeffrey F Peipert, Maureen G. Phipps, Colleen A Redding
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE To investigate whether women between the ages of 14 and 25 years with a past Unplanned Pregnancy were more likely to use a contraceptive method compared with women without a history of Unplanned Pregnancy. METHODS We analyzed baseline data of 424 nonpregnant women between the ages of 14 and 25 years enrolled in a randomized trial to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and Unplanned Pregnancy (Project PROTECT). Women at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases or Unplanned Pregnancy were included. Participants completed a demographic, substance use, and reproductive health questionnaire. We compared women with and without a history of Unplanned Pregnancy using bivariate analysis and log binomial regression. RESULTS The prevalence of past Unplanned Pregnancy in this sample was 43%. Women reporting an Unplanned Pregnancy were older, and had less education, and were more likely to be nonwhite race or ethnicity. History of an Unplanned Pregnancy was not associated with usage of a contraceptive method (relative risk 1.01, 95% confidence interval 0.87-1.16) in bivariate analysis or when potential confounders were accounted for in the analysis (adjusted relative risk 1.10, 95% confidence interval 0.95-1.28). CONCLUSION Several factors were associated with both Unplanned Pregnancy and overall contraceptive method use in this population. However, a past Unplanned Pregnancy was not associated with overall contraceptive method usage. Future studies are necessary to investigate the complex relationship between Unplanned Pregnancy and contraceptive method use. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II-2.
