"Romantic Relationships, Pregnancy Desire, and Pregnancy: Some Insights from Dynamic Prospective Data."
Jennifer recently completed a data collection project on 1,000 18- and 19-year-old women, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The "Relationship Dynamics and Social Life" (RDSL) project included weekly surveys for 2.5 years, along with semi-structured interviews, observation, and administrative data, in order to explore the types of attitudes, relationships, and contraceptive practices that produce early and/or unintended pregnancies. The talk will highlight preliminary results from several different ongoing analyses of these data by the RDSL project team.
