OJEDA DE LA PENA, Norma; GONZALEZ-RAMIREZ, Raúl S. y RAMOS-VARGAS, Alina. Openness of fathers and mothers toward adolescent contraception in Mexico: a case study from a socio-demographic perspective. Pap. poblac [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.100, pp.153-181. Epub 19-Jun-2020. ISSN 2448-7147. https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2019.100.16.
This is an analysis of attitudes of fathers and mothers on adolescent sexuality and contraception use in Mexico through the case of Tijuana, B.C. The analysis focuses on the parental openness toward providing information on sexuality and contraception to adolescents of both sexes. This is a socio-demographic study. A descriptive statistical analysis is conducted using data gathered through a survey of 2,547 fathers and mothers with children in public junior high schools. Research findings indicate significant gender differences. Mothers have a higher openness index than fathers. Other statistically significant variables are parent’s education and adolescent maternity background in the reproductive history of mothers and wives of fathers.
