摘要：
Objective: To determine the knowledge of women about Emergency Contraception (EC) and its use. Methodology: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Women attending the Family Planning Center, Kayseri during the three months (1600 women) were enrolled in this study. Results: While 9.8% of the women had heard of EC, none of them had previously used it. The young, married, multiparous women and those who had higher education were more informed about EC (p<0.01). Among the study women (n=157) had heard of EC and 86 subjects knew EC have to be taken within 72 hour after unprotected coitus. Conclusion: Many women hadn't had enough knowledge about Emergency Contraception (EC) and none of the women had previously used it.
