- W2313704311 abstract "In the UK, 1/3 of births are unplanned despite the wide availability of free contraception. Therefore, the Family Planning (FP) Association has been reviewing the provision of emergency contraception (EC). The IUD and hormonal formulations have long been available for EC use, and about 400,000 women in the UK use EC each year, with most of them choosing the hormonal pill regimen. This entails 2 doses of 100 mcg estrogen and 500 mcg progestogen, with the 1st dose taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse and the 2nd dose taken exactly 12 hours later. The IUD for EC should be inserted within 5 days of unprotected intercourse. Most women obtain EC from general practitioners (GPs) or from FP clinics. The availability of EC is not widely publicized, however, and women may have difficulty getting an appointment soon enough. Although many women have heard of EC, they lack detailed knowledge of how it works, the time limits, and how to obtain it. Health professionals also require further education about the use of this method of contraception. The EC guidelines for doctors were recently updated, therefore, and a public information campaign about EC was launched that included the distribution of information packs to GPs, FP clinics, pharmacies, and other National Health Service contacts. The consumer phase of the campaign included radio and magazine advertisements and was covered widely in the media. Access to EC may improve after the campaign, but the biggest impact on access would be to change the prescribing status to over-the-counter. This possibility is, therefore, being explored as an alternative to (not a replacement of) the free provision of service by GPs or FP clinics. While service delivery is being explored, research is progressing into the use of mifepristone as an EC with fewer side effects than the current hormonal regimen." @default.
