AB We investigated the parenting history, contraceptive behavior, and
contraceptive needs of 35 male chronic mental patients seen at an urban
outpatient psychiatric clinic. Most patients had fathered children, but
60% of the children less than 16 years of age were not being reared by
their biological father. Forty-one percent of the patients who had
sexual intercourse during the preceding year and had not wanted children
reported that they or their sexual partner had not used contraception at
the time of last intercourse. Patients were reportedly at significant
risk of fathering unwanted children and sexually transmitted diseases.
Strategies for preventing unwanted pregnancies within this population
are discussed.
