  • Descrição: Interviews were conducted with 211 single adolescent girls, free of known psychiatric disturbance, who had undergone an elective abortion at a metropolitan municipal hospital. Besides providing help for the possible emotional stress connected with their situation, it was learned to what extent they were acquainted with birth control methods & had actually attempted to avoid their pregnancy. Similar data relating to birth control were obtained in interviews with a group of 200 single adolescents pregnant for the first time, & from 50 girls serving as controls who had effectively practiced birth control for at least 6 months. The great majority of the girls came from the same SE background, close to the subsistence level. The results indicate that about 75% of the pregnancies were unintended. Besides the implied external difficulty involved in finding a congenial low-cost birth control clinic, 3 psychological cognitive mechanisms were uncovered which virtually block the conversion of birth control knowledge into its successful practice. This finding suggests that adolescent out-of-wedlock pregnancies do not exclusively arise from motivational factors. 1 Figure. HA.
