Faktore wat verband hou met swart tienderjariges se gebruik van kontraseptiewesMeyer-Weitz, Anna. 04 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / In an exploratory study variables influencing the intention to use contraceptives and contraceptive use of teenagers and the association between these variables were determined.A random quota sample consisting of 231 and 224 school boys and girls (14 - 18 years) were selected and the final investigating group were 315 sexually active teenagers. According to loglinear analyses the following variables showed a significant relationship with the intention to use contraceptives: attitudes towards the use of contraceptives, perceptions of accessibility and locus of control. Variables that showed a significant relationship with actual contraceptive use were gender, knowledge about reproduction and contraceptives, beliefs and attitudes towards the use of contraceptives, traditional values such as proving fertility before marriage and family size, perceptions of social approval of contraceptive use as well as perceptions of accessibility to contraceptives. An important conclusion was that an urgent need exists for effective sex education programmes and better access to contraceptives. / In 'n verkennende veldstudie is faktore wat verband hou met swart tienderjariges se intensie om kontraseptiewes te gebruik en werklike kontraseptiewe gebruik ge'identifiseer en die verhoudings tussen die faktore is bepaal. 'n Ewekansige kwotasteekproef van 231 en 224 plattelandse skoolseuns en meisies ( 14 - 18 jaar) is betrek en die finale ondersoekgroep was 315 seksueel aktiewe tienderjariges. Volgens logitmodelontledings het die volgende veranderlikes 'n beduidende verband getoon met die intensie om van kontraseptiewes gebruik te maak: houding teenoor die gebruik van kontraseptiewes, persepsies van toeganklikheid tot kontraseptiewes en lokus van beheer. Veranderlikes wat 'n beduidende verband getoon het
met werklike kontraseptiewe gebruik was geslag, kennis oor menslike reproduksie en kontraseptiewes, menings en houdings oor die gebruik daarvan, tradisionele waardeor'ientasies soos die bewys van fertiliteit voor die huwelik en gesinsgrootte, persepsies van sosiale ondersteuning vir kontraseptiewe gebruik asook persepsies van toeganklikheid tot kontraseptiewes. 'n Belangrike gevolgtrekking was dat daar 'n dringende behoefte bestaan na effektiewe seksuele voorligtingsprogramme en grater toeganklikheid tot kontraseptiewes. / Psychology / M.A.(Psychology)

Pattern of sexual practices contraceptive use among college students, in north Shoa, central EthiopiaTeshome Motuma Robi 27 July 2015 (has links)
In Ethiopia the number of young people going to college is steadily increasing. This predisposes them to risky sexual behaviour which leads to unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortions and HIV. This study has aimed to determine the patterns of sexual practice and contraceptives use and risk behaviours among those students in central Ethiopia.
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was employed. Data on sexual practice, knowledge and contraceptive use were collected from 327 college students. The data were cleaned, entered and analysed using SPSS version 20.
The results revealed that despite their knowledge of the methods of safe sex, there are still considerable misconceptions regarding the effectiveness of contraceptives, their side effects and their proper use.
In terms of the sexual practice reported by the respondents, 142 (43.4%) practised sex and 110 (77.5%) of respondents had used contraceptives at least once. The age of the respondents, the number of years for which they stayed in college and their fields of study were significantly associated with their sexual practice. In conclusion, a significant number of college students practised sex without using contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, and a considerable number of their partners disapproved of the use of contraceptives / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)

Limitations and liabilities: Flanner House, Planned Parenthood, and African American birth control in 1950s IndianapolisBrown, Rachel Christine 09 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis analyzes the relationship between Flanner House, an African
American settlement house, and Planned Parenthood of Central Indiana to determine why
Flanner House director Cleo Blackburn would not allow a birth control clinic to be
established at the Herman G. Morgan Health Center in 1951. Juxtaposing the scholarship
of African Americans and birth control with the historiography of black settlement
houses leads to the conclusion that Blackburn’s refusal to add birth control to the health
center’s services had little to do with the black Indianapolis community’s opinions on
birth control; instead, Flanner House was confined by conservative limitations imposed
on it by white funders and organizations.
The thesis examines the success of Blackburn and Freeman B. Ransom,
Indianapolis’s powerful black leaders, in working within the system of limitations to
establish the Morgan Health Center in 1947. Ransom and Blackburn received monetary
support from the United Fund, the Indianapolis Foundation, and the U.S. Children’s
Bureau, which stationed one of its physicians, Walter H. Maddux, in Indianapolis. The
Center also worked as a part of the Indianapolis City Board of Health’s public health
program. These organizations and individuals did not support birth control at this time
and would greatly influence Blackburn’s decision about providing contraceptives.
In 1951, Planned Parenthood approached Blackburn about adding birth control to
the services at Morgan Health Center. Blackburn refused, citing the Catholic influence on
the Flanner House board. While acknowledging the anti-birth control stance of
Indianapolis Catholics, the thesis focuses on other factors that contributed to Blackburn’s
decision and argues that the position of Flanner House as a black organization funded by
conservative white organizations had more impact than any religious sentiment; birth
control would have been a liability for the Morgan Health Center as adding
contraceptives could have threatened the funding the Center needed in order to serve the
African American community. Finally, the position of Planned Parenthood and Flanner
House as subordinate organizations operating within the limitations of Indianapolis
society are compared and found to be similar.

Attitudes Concerning Birth Control and Abortion As Related to LDS Religiosity of Brigham Young University StudentsPeterson, Erlend D. 01 January 1971 (has links) (PDF)
This study was an analysis of the relationship between LDS religiosity of college students and their attitudes concerning birth control and abortion. The respondents in this research were LDS college students attending Brigham Young University Fall Semester 1970. Goodman and Kruskal's gamma and a difference of means test were used to measure association and difference to determine the statistical significance of the responses as related to religiosity and attitudes concerning birth control and abortion. The results of the study showed that (1) there was a positive relationship between conservative attitudes toward birth control and abortion and one's degree of measured religiosity, (2) there was a significant difference between the attitude toward personal practice of birth control and abortion and the practice permitted to others outside the religious group membership, (3) attitudes toward birth control and abortion within the religious membership group were significantly more particularistic than universalistic, (4) there was a positive correlation between a person's attitude towards birth control and abortion and perception of church teachings and (5) of the cluster factor influencing the attitudes towards birth control and abortion, religion was found to be the most significant.

Developmental Exposure to Xenoestrogens: Effects on the Mouse Mammary Gland Development and Response to EstrogenKolla, Durga 09 July 2018 (has links) (PDF)
Humans experience ubiquitous exposures to estrogenic environmental chemicals from food, personal care products, and other industrial and consumer goods. Bisphenol A (BPA), a well-studied xenoestrogen, is known to alter development of estrogen-sensitive organs including the brain, reproductive tract, and mammary gland. Bisphenol S (BPS), which has a similar chemical structure to BPA, is also used in many consumer products, but its effects on estrogen-sensitive organs in mammals has not been thoroughly examined. In our study, pregnant CD-1 mice were orally exposed to BPS or ethinyl estradiol (EE2, a positive control for estrogenicity) from gestational day 9 through postnatal day (PND) 2, the period when many estrogen-sensitive organs are developing. After weaning, the offspring were administered either oil (vehicle) or an estrogen challenge (1 μg EE2/kg/day) for ten days starting at PND21 (prior to puberty), PND80 (early adulthood), or PND260 (later adulthood). Timing of puberty was evaluated in females by noting the date on which vaginal opening occurred. After the 10 day estrogen challenge, we evaluated the response of endocrine sensitive organs through measurements of organ weight, tissue morphology, and gene expression in both males and females. We observed dose- and sex-specific effects of BPS and EE2 treatment, as well as alterations in the responses of males and females to the estrogen challenge. This study sheds light on the effects of low dose xenoestrogen exposures on estrogen-sensitive organs including the reproductive tract and mammary gland. Furthermore, it improves our understanding of the influence of environmental chemicals on secular trends of earlier age of puberty in girls reported over the past few decades.
