Abstract
The aims of this study were to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of female high school and university students concerning contraception.The study was performed at the Alexandra University Hospital in Athens. A total of 297 female students participated in the study. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the depth of knowledge and attitude of respondents concerning contraception.Our findings suggest students have a defective knowledge of contraception. Their main source of information were friends but the majority would prefer to receive information from doctors. The most popular contraceptive method was the male condom. The attitude and behavior of young women in our study were consequently defective.In conclusion, there is a need to provide students with correct, detailed and broad-based information on conception and contraception as part of the school curriculum to help them acquire adequate knowledge and develop appropriate attitudes on contraception and sexual health.
