Qualitative study reveals barriers to access and need for improved education on emergency contraception.
Our findings show that despite EC being available, consumers faced challenges specifically related to accessibility, acceptability, and affordability. Education around EC is lacking, both in the context of consumers and health professionals alike. Thus, our findings demonstrate a need for better sexual health education and better EC training for health professionals. They show clearly that an attitude shift is needed by both healthcare providers and society to improve EC for consumers.
