Abstract:
:To determine knowledge of, attitudes toward, and use of emergency contraception (EC), interviews were held with 1068 clients of 89 public sector primary healthcare facilities in two urban and two rural areas of South Africa. Only 22.8% of the clients had heard of EC. Awareness was significantly lower in the most rural area and among older, less educated women. Knowledge of EC was superficial, with 47.1% unsure of the appropriate interval between unprotected intercourse and starting EC and 56.6% not knowing whether it was available at the clinic. Few (9.1%) of those who knew of EC had used it. After explaining EC, attitudes toward its use were found to be positive, with 90.3% indicating that they would use it if needed. Awareness was lower than in developed countries, but higher than in other developing countries. Findings indicate that if women know of EC, where to get it, and how soon to take it, they would use it if needed.
