本文介绍了1979年关于居住在大都市地区的15-19岁妇女的态度和做法的全国调查结果，并与1971年和1976年的调查结果进行了比较。报告有婚前性行为的15-19岁大都市地区妇女的比例从1971年的30%上升到1976年的43%和1979年的50%。在白人中，性活跃的比例从1971年的26%上升到1979年的47%。几乎所有的增长都是由于未婚白色妇女性活动的增加。1979年，12%的性活跃女性只发生过一次性行为。青少年的婚前怀孕率从1971年的9%上升到1976年的13%，1979年又上升到16%。未婚先孕的青少年在怀孕前结婚的比例从1971年的33%下降到1979年的16%。堕胎终止的比例从1971年的23%上升到1979年的37%。1979年，34%的性活跃青少年表示他们一直使用避孕措施，而1976年为29%，而那些从未使用避孕措施的青少年则从36%下降到27%。在1976年至1979年期间，在那些报告说他们一直使用避孕方法的人中，婚前怀孕的比例从10%上升到14%，部分原因是1976年至1979年期间最有效的医疗方法的使用减少，而最无效的方法的使用增加，特别是退出。
Results of a 1979 national survey concerning attitudes and practices of 15-19 year old women living in metropolitan areas are presented and compared with survey findings for 1971 and 1976. The proportion of 15-19 year old metropolitan area women who report having had premarital sexual intercourse rose from 30% in 1971 to 43% in 1976 and to 50% in 1979. Among whites the proportion sexually active rose from 26% in 1971 to 47% in 1979. Almost all of the increase is accounted for by increased sexual activity of never-married white women. 12% of the sexually active women in 1979 reported having had intercourse only once. The level of premarital pregnancy among teenagers increased from 9% in 1971 to 13% in 1976 and to 16% in 1979. The proportion of premaritally pregnant teenagers who married before resolution of the pregnancy decreased from 33% in 1971 to 16% in 1979. The proportion terminated by abortion rose from 23% in 1971 to 37% in 1979. 34% of sexually active teenagers said they always used contraception in 1979 compared to 29% in 1976, while those who reported they never used it declined from 36 to 27%. The proportion of premarital pregnancies occurring among those reporting they had always used a contraceptive method rose from 10% to 14% between 1976 and 1979, partly due to a decline in the use of the most effective medical methods between 1976 and 1979 and a rise in the use of the least effective methods, especially withdrawal.
