To assess knowledge about contraceptive efficacy and side effects in an adolescent population seen in Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology referral centers.
This is a multisite cross-sectional survey study. A 23-question survey assessing knowledge of contraception and demographic information was administered. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, simple paired t tests, and chi-square analyses using SAS 9.3.
Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology clinics in 4 tertiary care centers. The study was conducted in 3 institutions in the United States and 1 institution in Canada.
A convenience sample of 354 female patients aged 10-24 y seeking reproductive healthcare at participating institutions.
None
The percentage of correct answers to questions assessing general knowledge about contraception, familiarity with different contraceptive methods, and comparison of results between study sites.
The mean percentage of correct answers among all participants was 55.8% ± 17%. Younger participants (age 10-13 years) scored significantly lower than their older counterparts (49%, 55%, and 60% respectively, P < .05). There was no correlation between score and ethnicity or location of the participating site. Subjects reporting the internet as a source of information, those who were sexually active, and those familiar with long acting reversible contraceptives scored significantly higher. Of all contraceptive methods, participants were least likely to have heard of etonogestrel implants (18%), rhythm method/natural family planning (28%), and IUDs (32%).
Adolescents and young adults performed poorly overall demonstrating both the lack of overall knowledge regarding methods of contraception and misinformation about side effects.
评估在儿科及青少年妇科转诊中心就诊的青少年人群对避孕效果和副作用的了解情况。
这是一项多中心横断面调查研究。进行了一项包含23个问题的调查，评估避孕知识和人口统计学信息。使用描述性统计、简单配对t检验以及使用SAS 9.3进行卡方分析来进行数据分析。
4家三级医疗中心的儿科及青少年妇科诊所。该研究在美国的3家机构和加拿大的1家机构开展。
在参与机构寻求生殖健康护理的354名年龄在10 - 24岁的女性患者的便利样本。

评估避孕常识问题的正确答案百分比、对不同避孕方法的熟悉程度以及研究地点之间结果的比较。
所有参与者的正确答案平均百分比为55.8%±17%。较年轻的参与者（10 - 13岁）得分显著低于年龄较大的参与者（分别为49%、55%和60%，P <.05）。得分与种族或参与地点无关。报告通过互联网获取信息的受试者、有性行为的受试者以及熟悉长效可逆避孕方法的受试者得分显著更高。在所有避孕方法中，参与者最不可能听说过依托孕烯植入剂（18%）、节律法/自然计划生育（28%）和宫内节育器（32%）。
青少年和年轻成年人总体表现不佳，既显示出对避孕方法缺乏全面了解，也存在关于副作用的错误信息。
