Description of the Levels of Knowledge of 18-20 Year Olds Regarding Contraception and Collection of Information

Information, education and communication about contraception are essential to enable all people to make informed and responsible decisions about their lives.

Despite the introduction of compulsory sex education in schools and the national sexual health strategy, the rate of voluntary termination of pregnancy among those under 20 years of age is still high. Moreover, the contraceptives used by those under 20 years of age are mainly pills and condoms, which have the least effectiveness in practice (92% for the pill and 85% for the condom).

Questionnaire on the Knowledge of 18-20 year olds about contraception

Each correct answer will be coded as 1 point and each incorrect answer as 0 points. The total score will correspond to the sum of all items (a higher score indicating a higher level of knowledge).
