Risk for Unintended Pregnancy Among Latino Men and Women in a Nonmetropolitan County in Michigan

This study characterizes the risk for unintended pregnancy among Latino men and women within a racially and ethnically diverse county in Michigan. Latino respondents aged 18 to 50 years who reported no intention to become pregnant in the next year and no contraception use were defined as "at risk" for unintended pregnancy.

Having a high school degree or less was associated with higher odds for risk of unintended pregnancy (OR=4.15,
