Abstract
Purpose: Despite declines in unintended pregnancies in the US, adolescents and young adults continue to have the highest rates of unintended pregnancy. Emergency contraception (EC) can reduce the chance of unintended pregnancy especially in the case of inconsistent contraception use or contraceptive failure, both of which account for a majority of unintended pregnancies. To date, most interventions to increase EC use have focused on young women. While there is research indicating that males can play an important role in supporting their partners' selection and use of contraception (including EC), most males have limited knowledge of contraception. The purpose of the current study is to examine factors associated with males' knowledge of EC and perceived EC use among male community college students.
