Abstract
In a sample of 115 heroin-addicted women 25.8 per cent reported any type of contraception compared to 48.5 per cent of a national sample. Matching for age, ethnic group, and income level, reported contraceptive rates for the heroin-addicted sample versus the national sample for the never married, married, and formerly married groups were 40.1 per cent versus 37.7 per cent; 64.9 per cent versus 22.0 per cent; and 51.9 per cent versus 19.9 per cent, respectively.Keywords
