Abstract
This study investigated the premarital contraceptive behavior of 222 male and female college students. Contraceptive practice was examined in relation to dating patterns, level of emotional involvement with sex partners, type of birth control used, number of different sex partners, and reasons for failure to use birth control. Results showed that the likelihood of using a reliable contraceptive increased when the level of emotional involvement with the sex partner was heightened, the intercourse was planned, and the individual had prior sexual experience.
