Abstract
A 1993 survey of 294 reproductive health care providers, family practitioners and emergency room physicians investigated the frequency of prescribing emergency contraception. Hormonal emergency contraception had been prescribed by respondents an average of 3.4 times in the preceding 12 months.

Few respondents had ever discussed emergency contraception with patients or had literature available on the topic.
