Exploring the link between the use of oral contraceptives and intrauterine devices, and alcohol consumption in young Danish women
IUD users reported higher alcohol consumption than both COC users and NC women, while no substantial differences were observed between NC women and COC users. These findings provide valuable insights into the correlation between contraceptive methods and alcohol use. Although causality cannot be inferred, the results may aid healthcare professionals in developing tailored counselling strategies and identifying women who may be at increased risk of alcohol abuse.
