Abstract: Pregnancy following rape is a continuing and significant public health issue. We estimate that the 333,000 sexual assaults and rapes reported in 1998, along with many more unreported, were responsible for 25,000 pregnancies. Potentially, as many as 22,000 such pregnancies could be prevented if all women who were raped received prompt medical services, and if not already protected against pregnancy, were provided with emergency contraceptive treatment.
强奸后怀孕是一个持续且重要的公共卫生问题。据我们估计,1998年报告的33.3万起性侵犯和强奸事件,以及更多未报告的事件,导致了2.5万例怀孕。如果所有遭受强奸的女性都能及时获得医疗服务,并且在未采取避孕措施的情况下能得到紧急避孕治疗,那么多达2.2万例此类怀孕有可能得以避免。
