Many women seeking abortions did not use contraception due to side effect concerns and reliance on less effective methods. Increased education on oral contraception benefits and improved emergency contraception access are recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Public Health
  • Contraception Research

Context:

  • Study conducted at the University Hospital of Trondheim.
  • Data collected from 2,074 women applying for abortion between 1995 and 1997.
  • A questionnaire was administered to 291 women who did not use contraception.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of non-contraceptive use among abortion applicants.
  • To identify reasons for not using contraception.
  • To assess knowledge of and barriers to using postcoital contraception.

Summary:

  • Over 57% of women applying for abortion had not used contraception at conception, a trend that increased over the study period.
  • Primary reasons for non-use included concerns about side effects and reliance on the rhythm method or withdrawal.
