Brief summary

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).

Detailed description

The main objective is to describe the knowledge of 18 - 20 years old about contraception
