(CNN) — Most sexually active unmarried young adults believe pregnancy should be planned, but about half do not use contraception regularly, according to a study published Tuesday.
The survey of 1,800 people age 18 to 29 was conducted by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
“What is surprising is just how wide the gap is between single young adults’ intentions and behavior on this very important issue,” said Bill Albert, chief program officer at the organization.
