ABSTRACT
PIP: An interview was conducted to ascertain knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning emergency contraception (EC) among health care providers and potential EC users in metropolitan Mexico. Findings showed that there was a limited knowledge about EC per se and its method, but nevertheless, most of the participants were cautious to support EC in Mexico. Health care providers and clients greatly overestimated the negative health effects of EC, although clients overwhelmingly reported that they would use or recommend it if needed. Although providers typically advocated medically controlled distribution, clients believe EC should be more widely available, including in schools and vending machines, with information prevalent in the mass media and elsewhere.
