“…Of note, they were similar in their relative dislike of Norplant, which may not be surprising given the negative press about the method during the 1990s (Boonstra et al, 2000). They also were alike in their relatively positive views of male condoms and somewhat less positive views of female condoms, except that men were more likely than women to perceive that male condoms are highly effective in preventing pregnancy.…”

Purpose-Men's attitudes toward contraceptives are an understudied area, even though many men participate in contraceptive decision-making. The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes and perceptions regarding a selection of contraceptive methods among a national sample of African Americans, with a particular focus on gender differences.Methods-Data come from a telephone survey of African Americans (aged 15-44 years) living in the contiguous U.S. For the present analyses, the sample was restricted to 152 men and 281 women who reported having had a sexual partner of the opposite gender at some point in their lives. Bivariate analyses compared men and women's ratings of birth control pills, male condoms, female condoms, Norplant, Depo Provera, female sterilization, and male sterilization along several dimensions: bad/ good, harmful/beneficial, difficult/easy, dangerous/safe, immoral/moral, and effectiveness. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to determine the association between gender and contraceptive attitudes, adjusting for sociodemographic variables.Results-Male condoms were given the most favorable ratings along most dimensions by both African American men and women. In general, ratings of male condoms, female condoms, and Norplant did not significantly differ by gender. African American men did, however, give female and male sterilization, birth control pills, and Depo Provera significantly poorer ratings than did African American women. Conclusion-AfricanAmerican men had less favorable evaluations of some contraceptive methods than did African American women. Further research is needed to examine how such gender differences may play a role in contraceptive decisions.

“…7 When exposures to exogenous estrogen and progestin in the form of OC became widespread, concerns were raised about potential effect health effects, including breast cancer risk. 21 The possible association between use of OC and breast cancer has been examined in a large number of epidemiologic studies, reviewed in detail elsewhere. 5,6,22,23 Many studies found no overall association between OC use and breast cancer.…”

“…Many other reports confirm the extremely high contraceptive efficacy of injections [11][12][13][14] and implants [9,15]. Because of problems associated with difficult removals and other concerns, the six-capsule implantable contraceptive Norplant is no longer marketed in the United States [16]. Fortunately, in 2006 a single rod progestin-releasing contraceptive implant (Implanon; Organon, Roseland, NJ) received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for up to 3 years of use.…”
