To explore young women's accounts of their use and non-use of emergency contraception.
Qualitative study using in-depth interviews.
30 women aged 16-25; participants from socially deprived inner city areas were specifically included.
Community, service, and educational settings in England.
Young women's accounts of their non-use of emergency contraception principally concerned evaluations of the risk conferred by different contraceptive behaviours, their evaluations of themselves in needing emergency contraception, and personal difficulties in asking for emergency contraception.
The attitudes and concerns of young women, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, may make them less able or willing than others to take advantage of recent increases in access to emergency contraception. Interventions that aim to increase the use of emergency contraception need to address the factors that influence young women's non-use of emergency contraception.
探讨年轻女性使用和未使用紧急避孕措施的情况。
采用深度访谈的定性研究。
30名年龄在16至25岁之间的女性;特别纳入了来自社会贫困的市中心地区的参与者。
英国的社区、服务机构和教育机构。
年轻女性未使用紧急避孕措施的情况主要涉及对不同避孕行为所带来风险的评估、对自身需要紧急避孕措施的评价以及寻求紧急避孕措施时的个人困难。
年轻女性,尤其是来自弱势背景的女性的态度和担忧,可能使她们比其他人更没有能力或意愿利用最近紧急避孕措施可及性的提高。旨在增加紧急避孕措施使用的干预措施需要解决影响年轻女性不使用紧急避孕措施的因素。
