Objectives:
This paper describes African American teenaged males' attitudes and perspectives on abortion.
Methods:
Data were derived from a larger cross-sectional survey of African American males aged 14-19, living in the south side of Chicago.
Results:
Acceptability of abortion varied by partner type, such that 60% of teenagers felt abortion was acceptable with a casual partner while 37% found it acceptable with committed partners (p<.001). Acceptability also varied by sociocontextual factors, and with overarching uncertainty or inconsistency.
Conclusions:
Teenaged African American males have uniquely complex attitudes toward abortion.
