Factors Associated With the Utilization of Emergency Contraceptives by Female College Students in Rural Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Despite the majority of participants having heard of EC, most were not utilizing them appropriately due to a lack of detailed information and misconceptions. Health policymakers, heads of tertiary institutions, and educators should prioritize improving the educational curriculum and strengthening advocacy efforts in rural areas to address misconceptions and promote the benefits of EC, ultimately leading to better EC utilization and a reduction in unwanted pregnancies.

Abstract

Despite the majority of participants having heard of EC, most were not utilizing them appropriately due to a lack of detailed information and misconceptions. Health policymakers, heads of tertiary institutions, and educators should prioritize improving the educational curriculum and strengthening advocacy efforts in rural areas to address misconceptions and promote the benefits of EC, ultimately leading to better EC utilization and a reduction in unwanted pregnancies.
