Popis: Objectives: Our purpose was to study whether there is a difference in self-rated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and changes in HRQOL perception after 3 months of hormonal contraceptive use in adolescents. Seasonal variations in symptoms of depression were also studied. Methods: A test group (T1) (n=193) and a selected control group (n=238) of women aged 14-20 years who were visiting a young person's clinic completed the 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) and answered additional questions on menstrual history and pattern, need for menstrual pain relief medication, and other regular medication. The test group was reassessed after 3 months of hormonal contraception (T2). Seasonal variations in reported SF-36 scores were studied for the whole group. Results: The selected control group and test group at T1 were similar with regard to age at menarche and menstrual pattern. The duration of bleeding and use of painkillers were significantly reduced and the impact on everyday life was significantly improved after 3 months of hormonal contraception (p=.000, two-tailed). No changes in HRQOL or symptoms of possible depression were found after 3 months of hormonal contraception. The highest prevalence odds ratio for possible depression (SF-36 mental health scale score
