“…Parental demoralization and support at home influenced and benefited improved health habits as concluded from three studies in the Northeastern school districts by Okado, Bierman, and Welsh (2014). Parents' intervention strategies promoted abstinence from drinking, premarital sex, drugs, communication, and positive influences among peers as discovered from a study conducted among Newark teenagers by Ross, Baird, and Porter (2014).…”

“…Inclusion criteria were as follows: women diagnosed with miscarriages who were eligible for all three treatment options (expectant management, medical treatment, or surgical treatment) and were fluent in Dutch. We excluded women younger than 18 years (Ross et al, 2014) and those who needed immediate intervention because of their clinical statuses. We selected women through purposive sampling with maximum variation, meaning that we chose participants who could provide extensive information about the subject (Colorafi & Evans, 2016;Palinkas, 2014).…”

“…Researchers have focused on the need to better promote emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) to university students worldwide [ 3 – 5 ] because it is known as being a safe and effective solution for students who might face abortion without the timely use of ECP [ 6 ]. ECP has been considered as a sensible choice to prevent unwanted pregnancy 73 among sexually active women aged 16 to 46 years living in five European countries [ 7 ], but it 74 was also reported that increasing the use of ECP in the United Kingdom did not reduce the 75 pregnancy rate [ 8 ].…”

BackgroundAwareness of emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) associated with an intention to use other contraceptive methods has rarely been investigated. This study compared the ECP awareness of males and females and its associations with intention to use four other contraceptive methods (condoms, oral contraceptive pills, and withdrawal and rhythm methods) in unmarried university students in Korea. This study explores the importance of ECP awareness in university students’ contraceptive education.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed, in which 1372 unmarried university students (men, n = 755, women, n = 617) answered a Web-based survey. Sex differences in ECP awareness and four contraceptive intentions, and associations between ECP awareness and contraceptive intentions between sex were analysed using independent t-tests and χ2 test. Variables yielding significant associations with contraceptive intentions (p < 0.05) were included in a logistic regression using the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) to estimate the impact of ECP awareness on students’ contraceptive intentions.ResultsAwareness of ECP was found in 88.2 % of participants, which was generally positive. There were significant sex differences in some ECP awareness and students’ contraceptive intentions, and in the associations between previous ECP use and ECP awareness between male and female university students. In men, the belief that “ECP can cause sex with multiple partners” was associated with intention to use the rhythm method (AOR = 1.61, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–2.56). For women, the belief that “ECP is necessary in case of condom breakage” was associated with intention to use the withdrawal (AOR = 058, 95 % CI = 0.37–0.93) or rhythm (AOR = 0.36, 95 % CI = 0.16–0.84) methods, and “ECP should be prescribed by a doctor” was associated with the intention to use the rhythm method (AOR = 0.45, 95 % CI = 0.26–0.77).ConclusionsECP awareness was associated with the intentions of students to use withdrawal or rhythm methods. The sex-specific approach in the examination of students’ contraceptive intentions and their determinants was helpful.
