Legislation on contraception and abortion for adolescents.

The serious health and social consequences of adolescent pregnancy call for the examination of the laws that affect adolescents' access to contraception and abortion. The general law of any country relating to the availability, sale, or distribution and financing of contraceptives affects adolescents. Similarly, a country's general law on abortion applies to adolescents faced with unwanted pregnancy and affects them accordingly. In addition, special legislation relating to adolescents, particularly legislation or court decisions concerning parental consent for contraception or abortion for a minor, has an important influence on the access that sexually active young people have to services.

Emergency contraceptive pills: a survey of use and experiences at College Health Centers in the mid-Atlantic United States.

The authors conducted a telephone survey to investigate the availability of the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) at college health centers in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Related issues, such as distribution procedure, existence of an ECPs protocol, personnel involved, contraindications, follow-up procedures, methods of advertising, and staff attitudes were examined. Of the 124 completed responses, 43 schools (35%) reported distributing ECPs. The major reasons the schools listed for not distributing ECPs (n = 81, 65%) were inadequate staffing, religious convictions, no perceived need, and the service was available from a source in the local community.
