: : The goal of our study was to investigate and evaluate the contraceptive behavior in teenagers from our family planning centre that services two different religious and socioeconomic populations living in the Thrace area. : During the last 10 years 115 Christian Orthodox (group A) and 53 Muslim teenagers (group B) were enrolled in our retrospective study. Contraceptive practice attitudes were assessed by a questionnaire. Religion, demographics, socio-economic characteristics were key factors used to discuss contraception and avoid unplanned pregnancy in each group and to compare with the contraceptive method used. The most used contraceptive method-about two times more frequently-among Christian Orthodox participants was the oral contraceptive pill ( = 0.015; OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.13-2.90), while in the other group the use of condoms and IUDs was seven and three times more frequent, respectively. Our family planning centre was the main source of information for contraception. : During adolescence, the existence of a family planning centre and participation in family planning programs plays a crucial role to help the teenagers to improve their knowledge and choose an effective contraception method.
: : 本研究的目的是调查和评估我们的计划生育中心服务的来自两个不同宗教和社会经济群体的青少年的避孕行为，这两个群体都居住在色雷斯地区。 : 在过去的 10 年中，我们对 115 名东正教基督教徒（A 组）和 53 名穆斯林青少年（B 组）进行了回顾性研究。通过问卷调查评估避孕实践态度。宗教、人口统计学、社会经济特征是讨论避孕措施和避免每个群体中意外怀孕的关键因素，并与使用的避孕方法进行比较。在东正教基督教徒中，最常用的避孕方法（约两倍）是口服避孕药（=0.015；OR=1.81，95%CI=1.13-2.90），而在另一组中，避孕套和宫内节育器的使用频率分别高 7 倍和 3 倍。我们的计划生育中心是避孕信息的主要来源。 : 在青春期，计划生育中心的存在和参与计划生育项目对于帮助青少年提高知识水平并选择有效的避孕方法起着至关重要的作用。
