Abstrakt: Aim: The purpose of this study is to help prevent the consequences associated with early sexual activity and fertility in young people. It is intended to analyze the logical use of emergency contraception among health students.
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional, the study involved students enrolled for the 2012-2013 academic year. It took place in Bamako and Cotonou over two stages. It had two components, a qualitative preparatory and qualitative decisional one.
Results: All students surveyed had heard of contraception. The proportion of students who have had sexual intercourse is 91.2%. During their first sexual intercourse, only 20.3% of sexually active students used a contraceptive method. With regards to the use of emergency contraception by sexually active students, 9 out of 10 have used emergency contraception.
Conclusion: The analysis of data from this study helps to know that emergency contraception is well known by students in medical academia. And although they are aware of its limitations in terms of protection against unwanted pregnancy and STIs/HIV, they are not ready to focus on condom, which offers them the double protection.
