“…Twelve quantitative and three qualitative studies assessed males’ perspectives concerning emergency contraception. Seven studies used representative sampling methods; of these, three were based on national telephone surveys, one used a telephone survey conducted in California, two assessed college samples and one examined a community sample . Four studies focused on or included adolescents, using either household‐ or community‐based samples; the others examined adult populations, either in college settings or in household‐ or community‐based settings .…”

“…Correspondingly, survey findings of studies on post-secondary school female students in Nigeria and university students in Kenya cited that communication with friends was the commonest source of information about EC (33% and 17% of the respondents respectively) [18] and also a study on KAP of EC among urban family planning clients in Honduras indicated that friends/family; Television/video and radio were the leading sources of information for the method [19]. While a study result among female students of Bahir Dar University reported that television and radio as the most popular first sources of information (26.7%) followed by female friends (24.4%) [13].…”

Background: Changes in the total fertility rate-lifetime births per woman have dramatic effects on population size. More than 100 million women in developing countries, or about 17 present of all married women would prefer to avoid a pregnancy but are not using any form of family planning.Method: Cross-sectional study including both quantitative and qualitative surveys. Multistage stratified sampling was employed considering all governmental and private non health post-secondary institutions.Result: Mothers level of education has a significant gross effect on awareness of emergency contraception (OR=0.848, P<0.01). Respondents who had no experience of communicating with their respective mother was lower by 62.6% as compared with those who had experience of discussion about reproductive health issues with their mothers (OR=0.374, P<0.001). Those who had no experience of communicating with their respective partner was less by 71.2 (OR=0.288, P<0.01) as compared to those who had no experience. Female students who never had sexual intercourse was less by 71.4% as compared with their counter parts (OR=0.286, P<0.05). Those who had no experience of discussion with their respective mothers and who had no experience of discussion with sexual partner were found less by 59.1% (OR=0.409, P<0.01) and 64.8% (OR=0.352, P<0.001) respectively. Respondents who have no intention to use modern contraceptives and who had poor knowledge of EC was less by (OR=0.272, P<0.05) and OR=0.194, P<0.01) respectively. Conclusion:Building providers' capacity through in-service and pre-service trainings with emphasis on methods regimen available for different products and method of teaching and counseling of clients according to the method guideline became very vital.

“…1 Some research has shown that less than a quarter of adolescents (23%) were aware that something could be done to prevent a pregnancy after unprotected sex and only 9% of adolescents knew that EC needed to be used within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. 2 Yet other studies have found that almost all adult and adolescent women seeking EC did so within 72 hours of sex 3,4 and the majority of them sought EC within 24 hours. 3,5,6 Fears that young women and adolescents will repeatedly use EC rather than other more consistent methods of birth control have been widely dismissed.…”
