  • Determinants and effects of waiting time to coitus (1992) · Biodemography and Social Biology · doi

  • Contraceptive attitude-behavior consistency in adolescence (1980) · Population and Environment · doi

    Further research is needed to increase our understanding of the relative importance of method-specific attitudes in the adolescent contraceptive process, and to examine in greater detail the hypothesis that contraceptive attitude development is sequential in nature from adolescence to adulthood. In view of the clear influence of general contraceptive attitudes on behavior evident in this analysis, further investigations of this relationship are warranted to the extent that additional atti- tudinal variables are measured and correlated with contra- ceptive behavioral patterns.
