Description
The purpose of this study was to identify married Mormon women's beliefs, attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral intentions toward birth control, prenatal diagnosis, and abortion especially in regard to high risk pregnancy management. Factors contributing to the congruence of behavior were identified using the Fishbein model to explore the components of these congruences. Attitudes on birth control were found to be moderately acceptable for the purpose of spacing the birth of children at reasonable intervals and for the purpose of preventing a high risk pregnancy very acceptable.
