Individuals from minority racial and ethnic groups and individuals from rural areas have many similarities, including being disproportionately represented among teenage pregnancy and childbirth rates. They have a higher sexual activity statistics and lower contraceptive use statistics than non-Hispanic whites and urban populations. They are also similar in their cultural values orientations and the barriers they face in accessing sexual and reproductive care. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to study the role of cultural value orientations (CVO) in relation to perceived barriers (BCUS-2R) in accessing contraceptives. The hypotheses of the study were as follows: 1) higher Collectivism and Familism were predicted to be related to not obtaining contraceptives, while Individualism was predicted to have the opposite valence; 2) higher levels of individualism were predicted to endorse fewer barriers; 3) higher levels of individualism were predicted to have higher rates on the more effective reversible contraceptives, and; 4) the amount of barriers endorsed were predicted to identify whether the individual had, or did not have, a prescription for contraceptives. The final sample consisted of 90 females, ages 18 to 25, that retrospectively recalled their contraception use and the barriers they encountered when they were teenagers. The BCUS-2R score and CVO subscale scores successfully predicted group membership above chance and base rate, the overall hit rate was 64.45%, with 62.79% of participants who had a prescription being correctly identified and 65.96% of participants who did not have a prescription being correctly identified. The analyses for hypothesis 2 and 3 were not found to be significant.
