    Description

    The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of female parents on the sexual and contraceptive behavior of teenage daughters.

Demographic, attitudinal, and behavioral data were collected from both mothers and daughters in Detroit, Michigan, in separate but simultaneous face-to-face interviews.
