The purpose of this study was to determine the type of contraceptive most used by students at mid-size univeristy in Southeastern portion of the United States. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there will be 15 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases each year (CDC, 2002). There have also been reports that six out of ten pregnancies are unplanned (The Cleveland Clinic, 2002). The research design used for this study was a non-experimental, one-shot case study (n=116), which employed an 18 question behavioral self-report survey. This study utilized a non-probability, convenience sampling methodology of classes of college students. Descriptive (frequency/percentile) and inferential (ANOVA) statistics reported means and tested for statistical significant differences. Overall, participant profile reported that 33 males (28.4%) and 80 females (69.0%) of which 100 (86.2%) were single, 2 (1.7%) were married and 8 (6.9%) were divorced. Among the college students, 56.9% are currently sexually active and only 61.2% of these students reported contraceptives use. Results showed that between 13.8% and 17.2% of participants use withdrawal as a contraceptive method; and it was also reported that only 50.9% of participants use contraceptives every time they engage in sexual intercourse. This study ascertained that the most used and preferred contraceptive by students were condoms at 50.9% and 50.0% respectively. A statistical significant difference was determined among gender (p=0.007); marital status, age and religion played no significant role in contraceptive use. This study showed a shocking disregard or naiveté among college students for STD or pregnancy susceptibility. Educational programs among college students may warrented.
