Emergency Contraception

• Controversies about Emergency Contraception: The Scientific Evidence - New!
  Lack of accurate information about emergency contraception (EC) has resulted in widespread myths and misinformation and hampered EC access and use. A great deal of research about EC is now available, but much of the scientific literature is not presented in formats that are conveniently accessible to policy makers, health care professionals, media, and the public. The UCSF Bixby Center has compiled and summarized the research in concise, clear, and user-friendly briefs. Each brief offers an authoritative, scientific basis for EC education and advocacy activities and provides evidence-based responses to the following EC controversies:

• EC Controversies

• Is Emergency Contraception Effective at Preventing Pregnancy? - New!
• Does Emergency Contraception Promote Sexual Risk-Taking? - New!
• Should Teens Be Denied Equal Access to Emergency Contraception? - New!
• Should Emergency Contraception Be Available without Prescription? - New!
• Is Emergency Contraception Cost-Effective? - New!
• Does Emergency Contraception Cause Abortion? - New!
