Exploring knowledge, attitudes, practices, and determinants regarding emergency contraception use among female university students in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo: a cross-sectional study
Although the students demonstrated good awareness of emergency contraception and its utilization, the high frequency of emergency contraception use underscores the importance of promoting knowledge about conventional contraceptive methods. It is crucial to enhance educational campaigns within universities to mitigate the elevated risk of unsafe abortions.
