Most women aged 20-49 use fertility control methods, with many obtaining supplies from non-medical sources. General practitioners are the preferred source for future contraceptive advice.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Contraception Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Fertility control is crucial for reproductive health management.
  • Understanding current contraceptive practices and supply sources is essential for public health initiatives.
  • Awareness and accessibility of emergency contraception are key components of reproductive healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of fertility control use among women aged 20-49.
  • To identify the primary sources for obtaining contraceptive supplies.
  • To evaluate awareness of emergency contraception and preferred sources for future contraceptive advice.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to women aged 20-49 within a general practice.
  • Response rate was 72%, with 78% of respondents using a fertility control method.

  • Data collected included contraceptive use, supply sources, emergency contraception knowledge, and preferred future advice providers.

    • Main Results:

    • Over three-quarters of surveyed women utilize fertility control methods.
    • A significant proportion, over 25%, obtained contraceptive supplies, particularly condoms, from non-medical sources.
    • Awareness of emergency contraception was high (83%), and general practitioners (GPs) were the preferred source for future contraceptive advice, especially for women under 40.

    Conclusions:

    • While fertility control use is high, non-medical supply channels present potential public health considerations.
    • High awareness of emergency contraception is positive, but access through non-traditional means warrants further investigation.
    • General practitioners play a vital role in providing contraceptive advice and supplies, highlighting the importance of integrated reproductive healthcare services.
