Emergency Contraception: What Educators Can Do
Young people need medically accurate sex education—education
that includes information on both abstinence
and contraception, including emergency contraception.
Studies show that, once informed about emergency contraception, approximately
three-quarters of young women report that they would be likely to take the
pills if they needed them. Educate youth about emergency contraception. Other
ways you can let young people know that you respect and value them include:
- Commit to learning about emergency contraception.
- Include accurate information on emergency contraception in
sex education curricula. Click here to view a lesson plan.
- Provide students with information about the emergency
contraception hotline and Web site.
- Write about emergency contraception for high school, college,
and local newspapers.
