A.
Good choice because it is cheap
B.
Good choice because it is easy to use
C.
Poor choice because it is not effective
D.
Poor choice because it requires planning
ANS: D
Because the diaphragm requires planning ahead, it may not be the best choice for adolescents because of their frequent "forgetfulness" and because it interferes with spontaneity and requires correct use with every act of intercourse. All barrier methods are fairly inexpensive. A diaphragm is easy to use for many women, after they learn to use it correctly. The effectiveness of a properly used diaphragm is about 84%, making it not the best choice for someone who would consider an unplanned pregnancy a disaster. This also makes it less appealing for teens.
