Forty-fi ve percent of respondents exhibited pregnancy ambivalence. The proportion was higher among
men than among women (53% vs. 36%), and the diff erence remained signifi cant in the multivariate analysis (odds
ratio, 2.9). Ambivalence was associated with lowered likelihood of contraceptive use, but this relationship was statistically
signifi cant only for men: Compared with men with clear intentions to avoid pregnancy, ambivalent men were
less likely to have used any method of contraception in the last month (0.4).
