Afro-Surinamese women in The Netherlands: sexual education, the initiation of sex, and contraceptive use.
Surinamese women in Holland have a higher fertility rate and a much higher abortion rate than Dutch women in general. A sample of 60 Surinamese women throughout Holland were interviewed about their experience of sexual education, their initial sexual experiences, their use of contraception and pregnancies. Factors in their sexual career associated with a heightened risk of an unplanned pregnancy are recorded.
