Abstract
Despite the vast research on differences in sexual behaviors and comparisons of contraceptive use, little is known about how attitudes towards contraception use impact outcomes of pregnancy between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. This study examines how demographic factors and sexual behaviors differ between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas to impact outcomes in pregnancy. An analysis is completed to understand the major drivers of pregnancy based on rural-urban residence. These findings offer insight into how metropolitan and nonmetropolitan residence should be considered in reproductive health practice and policy.
