Access to contraceptive consultations and the content of these consultations are important to achieve a safe and satisfying sexual life and successful reproduction when desired. The aim of this study was to investigate Norwegian women's experiences of and opinions on contraceptive consultations.
We conducted a cross-sectional study with a questionnaire distributed via Facebook with 1917 respondents of age ≥15 years. Descriptive analyses were used.
Few women found it hard to access consultations (5%). Across all age groups, side effects were the most common topic that women (69%) wanted more information about. Concern about side effects was also the most frequent reason given (27%) for not using hormonal contraceptives. Among women aged 25-34 years, 54% wanted to know more about different available contraceptives. The majority of women deemed issues of sexual wellbeing important to address during a contraceptive consultation. Few women reported that these topics had been raised. Just under half of the women found it appropriate to see a midwife for contraceptive/sexual health consultations. Only one-third knew that midwives can prescribe and administer long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs).
Women want contraceptive consultations to include more information on side effects and available hormonal contraceptives. Women want to be asked about their sexual health and wellbeing during contraceptive consultations. Women should be made aware that midwives can provide contraceptive services including LARCs.

我们通过脸书分发问卷进行了一项横断面研究，有1917名年龄≥15岁的受访者。采用描述性分析。
很少有女性觉得难以获得咨询服务（5%）。在所有年龄组中，副作用是女性（69%）希望获得更多信息的最常见话题。对副作用的担忧也是不使用激素避孕法最常给出的原因（27%）。在25 - 34岁的女性中，54%希望更多地了解不同的可用避孕方法。大多数女性认为性健康问题在避孕咨询中很重要，需要加以解决。很少有女性报告说这些话题被提及过。不到一半的女性认为找助产士进行避孕/性健康咨询是合适的。只有三分之一的人知道助产士可以开处方并提供长效可逆避孕法（LARC）。
女性希望避孕咨询能包含更多关于副作用和可用激素避孕法的信息。女性希望在避孕咨询中被问及她们的性健康状况。应该让女性意识到助产士可以提供包括长效可逆避孕法在内的避孕服务。
