Latina teens have lower rates of contraceptive use and higher rates of pregnancy compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Differences in attitudes about contraceptive responsibility have been suggested as reasons for these disparities. We conducted 36 gender- and race/ethnicity-specific focus groups with young women aged 15 to 21 years and young men aged 18 to 24 in four large Texas cities. To explore youths' attitudes about contraceptive responsibility, we analyzed transcripts using thematic analysis and compared themes across race/ethnicity and gender. Across all groups, youth often reported that young women were primarily responsible for contraception because of the physical implications of pregnancy and perceptions that women have more self-control. While youth also stated both partners should take responsibility, this was often offered as an ideal. There were few differences across race/ethnicity, but Latina young women more often discussed the greater implications of pregnancy for women, and Latino young men less frequently acknowledged the financial and legal obligations of raising a child. These findings suggest that attitudes likely operate in conjunction with other beliefs and structural disadvantages that contribute to disparate reproductive health outcomes. Our results also point to important areas for sexual health and development for all youth.
