Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates the contraceptive methods used by adolescent and young women and their knowledge and attitudes on the IUD. Materials and methods: A structured questionnaire was filled by 100 participants attending a Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology clinic. Questions were asked on demographics, relationships, methods of contraception used and perceived effectiveness with emphasis on the IUD and issues associated with it. Results: Young women in Greece use mainly the condom as a method of contraception and 2/3 of them believe that it is very reliable although one third of them uses it consistently.
