OBJECTIVES: Instances of withdrawal, the practice of removing a penis from a vagina before ejaculation to prevent pregnancy, have increased in some US populations over the past two decades. There is a paucity of research, however, on the prevalence and correlates of withdrawal among adolescents and young adults (AYAs). This study sought to determine the prevalence and correlates of withdrawal use in a representative sample of AYAs in the US, highlighting the association between receipt of informal sexuality education and withdrawal use.
STUDY DESIGN: We analyzed cross-sectional National Survey of Family Growth data from AYAs surveyed between 2011 and 2019 (15-24 years; N = 14,262). Prevalence of withdrawal was determined using different sexual activity time-points (at first sex and ever) and reference periods (past 3 and 12 months). Logistic regression models were used to identify correlates of withdrawal alone and combined with at least one other method.
RESULTS: Across all waves and reference periods, the prevalence of withdrawal was higher among AYAs who combined it with at least one other method (ever [overall]=15.15, SE = 0.58) compared with those who used it as the only method (ever [overall]=8.32, SE = 0.38). Compared to the 2011-2013 wave, those in the 2015-2017 wave had greater odds of reporting using only withdrawal in the past 3 months (AOR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.02, 2.21). The same trend was seen in those who used withdrawal with another method at last sex in the past 3 and 12 months. Withdrawal alone or combined with another method varied by receipt of informal sexuality education topics (e.g., methods of birth control vs STIs).
CONCLUSION: Variations in use of withdrawal based on type of informal sexuality education received suggests that different motivations might inform interventions in promoting effective reproductive health practices.
