Association between Depressed Mood and Youth Condom/Contraceptive Nonuse: A Systematic Review of Literature.

CONCLUSIONS: There is fair evidence of an association of depressed mood with contraceptive nonuse. Further specific analyses need to be conducted on this topic. Additional research using true prospective design and improved reporting on the measure of both exposure and outcome are also needed to provide more reliable findings and facilitate improved understanding of the association between depressed mood and sexual risk behavior.
