Abstrakt: Objectives: To assess the relationship between pregnancy intention and current desire for pregnancy prevention.
Study Design: Using data from two state population-based surveys, we compared One Key Question and current pregnancy prevention desire.
Results: The majority with ambivalence toward pregnancy (54%) and some respondents who wanted to become pregnant in a year (30%) desired pregnancy prevention now.
Conclusions: One Key Question did not capture the current pregnancy prevention desires of a sizeable minority of respondents.
Implications: A pregnancy prevention-focused screening approach may be better suited to identify those in need of contraceptive services compared to pregnancy intention screening.
