Grimley, Diane M.; Lee, Patricia A.
Adolescence, v32 n128 p771-79 Win 1997
Examines the sexual practices of 235 females aged 15 to 19 years and their readiness to use specific contraceptive methods. Results indicate that, despite the availability of newer contraceptive methods, most sexually active adolescents were least resistant to using condoms, perceiving the male condom as an acceptable preventative both for pregnancy and disease.
