“…There was a statistically significant difference in the responses of the subjects regarding the side effects of oral emergency contraception (c 2 = 0.006); however, a large number of subjects were familiar with the potential side effects. This issue has been highlighted in numerous scientific papers with an emphasis on the fact that adolescents should be acquainted with the advantages and disadvantages of emergency contracep-tion [18]. There is a statistically significant difference in the answers of the respondents when it comes to the procurement of emergency contraception; more than half of the respondents were not informed that oral emergency contraception can be obtained without a prescription in pharmacies (c 2 = 0.017).…”

Introduction. Emergency or postcoital contraception is a method of contraception that is used within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. It is very important that adolescents consider emergency contraception with awareness. It is not a regular method of contraception. The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents towards the use of emergency contraception. Material and Methods. The research was a cross-sectional study that used a specially designed questionnaire for adolescents intended to assess their knowledge about emergency contraception methods. The study included an intentional sample of 108 students attending the Medical High School ?Dr. Misa Pantic? in Valjevo. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. Results. The largest number of students was informed about the indications for emergency contraception (80%, c2 = 0.004); the respondents agreed that emergency contraception is not a regular method of contraception and should be used in cases of sexual abuse (c2 = 0.019). Most of the respondents believe that they need additional education (N = 95, c2 = 0.032) regarding emergency contraception methods. Conclusion. The analysis of the results showed that the adolescents who participated in the study need additional education about the methods of emergency contraception. It is necessary to improve the strategies of health education of adolescents on this topic.

“…O anel vaginal consiste em um anel de plástico flexível que libera continuamente progesterona e estrogênio após ser inserido na vagina (SALDANHA, 2018). O anel deve permanecer na vagina durante três semanas consecutivas, sendo posteriormente removido e deixando correr um sangramento de retirada na quarta semana (SALDANHA, 2018; TODD; BLACK, 2020).…”

“…O anel deve permanecer na vagina durante três semanas consecutivas, sendo posteriormente removido e deixando correr um sangramento de retirada na quarta semana (SALDANHA, 2018; TODD; BLACK, 2020). É recomendado aos adolescentes por não requisitar constante disciplina de tomada como no caso dos contraceptivos orais, o que torna seu uso mais prático para esse grupo (SALDANHA, 2018). No entanto, apesar disso, é reportado que os adolescentes não estão inclinados a ter o anel vaginal como método de primeira escolha devido à dificuldade de manuseio do anel (c).…”

“…Consistency in women's health care providers’ translation of IUD best practices into clinical practice needs improvement 8,20 . It is important to ensure all health care providers, including those who provide primary and pediatric care, are aware that the use of IUDs is recommended for young women and that STIs are not a contraindication for IUD use or continuation 1,15,21 …”

The use of long‐acting reversible contraception, namely, intrauterine device (IUDs) and the subdermal implant, has been recommended to address the high rate of the unintended pregnancy in the United States. IUDs are a safe, highly effective contraceptive method, suitable for most women. The underutilization of IUDs arises in part from the lack of translation of best practices in the clinical setting as well as fears and misperceptions about this contraceptive method held by health care providers and women. This article reviews screening and management of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis infection and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women who are using or want to use an IUD. An IUD may be inserted without prior screening for N gonorrhoeae or C trachomatis in women who are at low risk for sexually transmitted infections and asymptomatic. An in situ IUD may remain in the uterus during and after treatment for gonococcal infection, chlamydial infection, or PID. The risk of PID with an IUD in situ is less than 1%. Following IUD best practices, including their use in the context of sexually transmitted infections, can increase the availability of this method for suitable candidates and decrease the unintended pregnancy rate.
