This survey was the first of its kind to focus in depth on the attitudes and behavior of unmarried young adults regarding pregnancy planning, contraception, and related issues. Commissioned by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and conducted by the Guttmacher Institute, the survey gathered detailed results from a nationally representative probability sample of 1,800 unmarried men and women aged 18–29. The survey collected information on unmarried young adults’ sources of information about birth control, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding pregnancy risk and contraceptive methods, experience with sex education, relationships and pregnancy experiences, and demographic characteristics.
