Whereas in high-income countries potential users of Emergency Contraception (EC) have information and access to emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), it has remained secretive in low-income countries like Uganda. Although several studies have been conducted in relation to EC, few have addressed users' perceptions. The objective of our study was to explore perceptions of EC by university students in Kampala, Uganda. Seven focus group discussions and four key informant interviews were conducted at Makerere University, Kampala. The transcribed data was analyzed for content and recurrent themes. Participants expressed ambivalence about ECPs. The method was generally recommended but only to the "right people", in this context being those aged eighteen years and more. There were reservations surrounding provision of ECPs like similarity with abortion and fear of side effects. Users' and potential-users' perceptions are crucial in the accessibility and utilization of ECPs.
在高收入国家，紧急避孕（EC）的潜在使用者能够获取紧急避孕药（ECP）的相关信息并能够获得药物，而在乌干达这样的低收入国家，紧急避孕却一直处于保密状态。尽管已经开展了多项关于紧急避孕的研究，但很少有研究涉及使用者的看法。我们研究的目的是探讨乌干达坎帕拉大学生对紧急避孕的看法。在坎帕拉的马凯雷雷大学进行了七次焦点小组讨论和四次关键 informant 访谈。对转录的数据进行了内容和反复出现主题的分析。参与者对紧急避孕药表现出矛盾的态度。这种方法通常得到推荐，但只适用于“合适的人”，在这种情况下是指18岁及以上的人。围绕紧急避孕药的提供存在一些保留意见，比如与堕胎的相似性以及对副作用的担忧。使用者和潜在使用者的看法对于紧急避孕药的可及性和使用至关重要。
