To explore women's views on the deregulation of hormonal emergency contraception (EC) prior to it becoming deregulated on 1 January 2001.
Qualitative study using face to face, semi-structured interviews.
A NHS family planning clinic, a voluntary sector family planning clinic and a general practice in the South West region.
Twenty-seven women aged 18-29 years.
Most women were in favour of deregulation with over-the-counter provision perceived as quick, convenient and anonymous. Reservations regarding overuse and over-reliance upon EC mirror those of health professionals, although it was not felt that the increased accessibility of EC would lead to changes in sexual activity. Concerns that deregulation would promote an irresponsible attitude towards contraception were largely focused on younger women. Cost was generally regarded as a positive barrier to overuse. However, it was felt that the price should not be prohibitively high. A figure corresponding to the current prescription charge was most often cited. The pharmacy was the preferred choice of provider for most women.
Although most women in this study would prefer to obtain EC over-the-counter, the current charge of pound 20 is likely to prove a barrier.
在激素紧急避孕（EC）于2001年1月1日放开管制之前，探讨女性对其放开管制的看法。
采用面对面半结构式访谈的定性研究。
国民保健服务体系（NHS）的一家计划生育诊所、一个志愿部门的计划生育诊所和西南部地区的一家全科诊所。
27名年龄在18至29岁之间的女性。
大多数女性赞成放开管制，认为非处方供应快速、方便且匿名。对过度使用和过度依赖紧急避孕的担忧与卫生专业人员的担忧类似，不过人们并不认为紧急避孕更容易获得会导致性行为发生变化。对放开管制会助长对避孕不负责任态度的担忧主要集中在年轻女性身上。成本通常被视为过度使用的一个积极障碍。然而，人们认为价格不应过高。最常被提及的是与当前处方费相当的数字。药房是大多数女性首选的供应方。
尽管本研究中的大多数女性更愿意非处方获取紧急避孕，但目前20英镑的费用可能会成为一个障碍。
