Abstract
This was a descriptive correlational study designed to determine if there was a relationship between adolescent contraceptive use and family communication. The null hypothesis stated that there would be no significant correlation in the adolescent use of contraceptive methods and family communication. A researcher-designed tool, the "Adolescent Contraceptive Questionaire," was administered to 27 college students aged IS and 19 years. Of this group there were 3 whites and 24 blacks. The hypothesis was tested using the Pearson r correlation coefficient. There was no significant relationship between the adolescent's contraceptive use and family communication. The researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis.
