“…We observed that, in most cases, women used this medication within 24 h of having unprotected sex (87.2%), which is comparable to that obtained in other studies [14,17]. We also observed that repeat use of this medication was accompanied by more risky sexual behavior in users who take EC more than 48 h after unprotected sex compared with those who obtain it during the first few hours, including a lower percentage of users who use condoms, and a higher percentage who use no contraceptive method.…”

“…With respect to the age profile of the users, although we did not detect age differences between first-time and repeat users in this study, a higher overall mean age was observed in women who took EC (26.9 ± 7.8 years) in relation to data from most national and international studies, where it was 20-24 years [11,14,20,21]. However, 7.7% of EC dispensations were provided to minors, similar to that found in other studies [17]. These latter data are accompanied by a high percentage of cases that did not use any regular contraceptive method.…”

Condom breakage seems to be a repeated theme in other studies, including a review performed by these authors [ 22 ] as well as in other international studies [ 6 , 12 , 23 ].…”

“…Nossos resultados mostraram que grande parte das mulheres, que usaram a AE anteriormente, usou até três vezes na vida. Em revisão feita por Amengual et al (2016), sobre o perfil de uso da AE de mulheres espanholas, a maioria declarou ter usado a AE somente uma vez, o mesmo encontrado por outros estudos (Daniels, Jones, Abma, 2013). Portanto, todos os estudos apontam que o uso da AE parece ser esporádico e não um método utilizado rotineiramente.…”
