Abstract
Objectives: The potential of emergency contraception (EC) to reduce unplanned pregnancy has not yet been realized. Ulipristal acetate EC has equal or greater efficacy than levonorgestrel EC and is effective for a longer window of time, yet is not prescribed nearly as often. Additionally, pharmacists vary in both their training on EC and their comfort in discussing its use. We performed a cross-sectional audit study to examine pharmacy availability and staff knowledge of both forms of EC in western Massachusetts pharmacies.
