One lesson improves knowledge of emergency contraception
A single lesson on emergency contraception given by trained teachers
improves the proportion of teenage pupils aware of the correct time
limits for use of both hormonal emergency contraception and the uterine
device as emergency contraception. The intervention did not increase
pupils' sexual activity or use of emergency contraception. This is an
important finding, say Graham and colleagues (p 1179), given the
ongoing debate on the effects of sex education.
