This study examined contraceptive use and attitudes of sexually active Black adolescent males. The sample consisted of eighty-three Black adolescent males between the ages of 13 and 20. The independent variables were: (a) social support (internal and external), (b) self-esteem, (c) coping style, and (d) gender role expectations. The dependent variables for this study were contraceptive use and attitudes. The first hypothesis of this study stated the more social support systems externally available, the more likely it is the Black adolescent males use and have positive attitudes toward contraceptives. There was no support for the hypothesis. The finding identified support for the opposite notion that more social support (external) the more likely that Black adolescent males fail to use contraceptives. The second hypothesis stated there is a positive relationship between accepting social support (internal) and the use of and attitudes toward contraceptives. There was no support for any relationship between social support (internal) and attitudes toward the use of contraceptives. The findings identified support for the opposite notion. The third hypothesis stated the more one's coping style is one of planning the more likely one is to have a positive attitude and use contraceptives. The findings did not support the hypothesis. The findings identified support for the opposite notion. The fourth hypothesis stated that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely Black adolescent males have a positive attitude and use contraceptives. There was support for the hypothesis. The fifth hypothesis in this study stated that the higher the level of masculinity, the less likely it is that the Black adolescent male will use or have a positive attitude toward contraceptives. The findings identified support for the opposite notion that the higher the masculinity scores among Black adolescent males the more likely they are to have positive attitudes toward contraceptives. The findings identified support for the opposite notion that the higher the masculinity scores the more likely that Black adolescent males fail to use contraceptives. Little is known about the contraceptive use and attitudes of Black adolescent males. This elusiveness may in part be due to the tendency of human service organizations to systemically devalue the male's role in the use of contraceptives. Educational programs to enhance Black adolescent males' contraceptive use and attitudes should concentrate on self-esteem and gender role expectations.
