Abstract:
Community health nurse practitioners are often the major contraceptive counselors who may use anticipatory guidance to help clients' use behaviors. Because pregnancy rates during typical use are much higher than during "perfect" use, more effective anticipatory guidance could help improve use behaviors. Principles of cognitive theory were used to explore the implications of specific words and approaches associated with discussing young adults' contraceptive use. Qualitative results are reported here, and potential implications are made for nurse practitioners' anticipatory guidance related to contraceptive use.
