Resumen
Objetivo. Estimar la frecuencia del embarazo no deseado en parejas residentes de áreas marginales urbanas, así como las diferencias en magnitud y factores explicativos en indígenas y mestizos. Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 15 asentamientos urbanos marginales de Chiapas. La muestra incluyó a mujeres en edad reproductiva recientemente embarazadas (n=230). Se estimó la frecuencia de embarazos no deseados a partir del reporte del sentimiento y reacción de las mujeres embarazadas y de su cónyuge frente al diagnóstico del embarazo. Se realizó análisis bivariado y multivariado. Resultados. Más del 80.0% de las mujeres dijeron conocer y haber usado métodos
anticonceptivos, pero solamente 49.6% de los embarazos fue deseado por ambos padres; 11.2% fue rechazado por ambos y en el resto hubo indiferencia o discordancia en la pareja, con diferencias en la magnitud y momento del ciclo de vida en mujeres mestizas e indígenas. Conclusiones. Es necesario considerar el embarazo no deseado como un problema de salud pública que adquiere diferente magnitud y características en la población indígena y mestiza.
