Relationship Profiles and Contraceptive Use Within Young Adult Dating Relationships Presented: Dallas, TX, Population Association of America Meetings, April 2010 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Adolescent Sexual Activity; Contraception; Dating; Sexual Activity; Sexual Behavior; Sexual Experiences/Virginity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study examines the association between characteristics of young adult dating relationships and couples' contraceptive use. Using a sample of young adults from the NLSY97, we first employ latent class analysis to establish relationship profiles based on attributes including relationship duration, intimacy and emotional support, relationship commitment, and lack of conflict. We then model the associations between these relationship profiles and the contraceptive method used the last time the couple had sex, comparing condom, hormonal or a combination “dual method,” to no method. We will test these associations with and without controlling for individual and background characteristics of the respondent and his or her partner. Results will contribute to 1) our understanding of characteristics of young adult dating relationships and 2) how the grouping of relationship attributes influences contraceptive use. |
