Brief Summary

Information, education and communication about contraception are essential to enable all people to make informed and responsible decisions about their lives. Despite the introduction of compulsory sex education in schools and the national sexual health strategy, the rate of voluntary termination of pregnancy among those under 20 years of age is still high. Moreover, the contraceptives used by those under 20 years of age are mainly pills and condoms, which have the least effectiveness in practice (92% for the pill and 85% for the condom).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Questionnaire on the Knowledge of 18-20 year olds about contraception

  The knowledge of 18-20-year-olds regarding contraception will be assessed using a questionnaire developed specifically for the study. The questions will address knowledge about contraception (the different existing methods, methods of use, etc.) A knowledge score will be calculated based on all responses provided to these questions. Each correct answer will be coded as 1 point and each incorrect answer as 0 points. The total score will correspond to the sum of all items (a higher score indicating a higher level of knowledge).
