Why do some people not use
effective contraception?
Chairmen:
K. Petersen (Denmark) – L. Bencsik (Hungary)
The
workshop will focus on the fact that the abortion rate in most countries remain
high despite the fact that effective contraceptives are available. The workshop
will discuss if this is due to
1) lack of knowledge
2) side effects of the contraceptive methods
3) the price and availability of the methods.
Moreover
it will be discussed how we can identify those individuals who migth be at
special risk of not using effective contraceptive methods and how we possibly
can improve the situation..
The workshop will be opened by the chaimen giving examples on these issues
hoping to stimulate a lively discussion !
