Abstract
An audit of contraception service offered to teenagers attending Scottish genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics in 2007 was carried out by collecting data from each main clinic of 11 Scottish health boards. The case notes of 579 women aged under 18 years were reviewed. In 553 (95.5%) cases, sufficient data were available to make an assessment regarding whether the women needed any advice on having a reliable method of contraception. Of these 553 women, 280 (50.6%) were assessed as requiring contraceptive advice. Of the 280 women who needed advice, 156 (56%) received it. Currently, there are some gaps in the provision of contraception services offered to teenagers attending GU medicine clinics, which could be improved by increasing awareness among staff and providing adequate resources.
