Not using contraception among women requesting abortion
The aim of this survey was to examine the number of abortion applicants not using contraception at the time of conception, to shed light on the reasons for this, and to acquire information about the knowledge of postcoital anticonception in this patient group. The registered data is collected from precoded medical records at the University Hospital of Trondheim comprising 2,074 women applying for abortion in the period 1.1. 1995-15.7. 1997. The 291 applying for abortion 15.1-15.7. 1997, and who had not used contraception were given a questionnaire. 160 (55%) answered the questionnaire. During the period of 2.5 years 57.4% had not used contraception at the time of conception. The tendency of non-use has increased significantly during the last 2.5 years. Concern about sideeffects was the most common reason for not using contraceptives (36%). One third trusted the rhythm method and coitus interruptus. The postcoital pill was known by 93%; of the 61 women who had considered using it, 67% thought of it too late. To prevent unwanted pregnancies, it is important to focus on the positive health effects of oral contraception. Information efforts should especially be aimed at young and single women, who represent the majority of the non-users. The cost is no great impediment to the use of contraception. Availability of emergency contraception should be improved.
