Survey, Schmer-vey

I really find the results of a recent survey by the Guttmacher Institute hard to believe.

The group surveyed 1,800 unmarried men and women in the USA and found that 20% of people in their 20s believe they are infertile (when actually about 6% are). Huh? Hasn’t the focus of public health education for the past 3 decades focused on contraception and fear of an unwanted pregnancy? I thought that this age group believed they could conceive at any moment and are quite vigilant with contraception. What I see in my practice are couples who have spent years using contraception with the belief they are very fertile only to find out they are not after stopping contraception.
