Successful and unsuccessful contraceptors:  a multivariate typology.
"The purpose of this study is to develop and test a multivariate, multidimensional exploratory model of successful and unsuccessful contraceptive use."  The data concern 200 sexually active females who visited an obstetrics and gynecology department in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.  The authors conclude that successful contraceptive use has to be seen in a multidimensional context and is not simply a problem concerning contraceptive information.  They also conclude that early sexual socialization and education, generally in the family setting, is important in the development of sexually responsible behavior.
