Abstract
The high rate of adolescent unintended pregnancy has remained a significant public health concern. Adolescent male reproductive knowledge, attitudes and behavior has received very little research attention in comparison with their female counterparts, although they become sexually active at a younger age and have a higher incidence of sexual activity. Emergency contraception (EC) when used as recommended may reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy by 89-95%. Professional organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, recommend that health care providers routinely offer information and counseling regarding EC to all patients, male and female.
