Washington, March 21: As many researches claim, the morning-after pills don’t work in case of teenagers, especially when it comes to decreasing the rate of teenage pregnancies.
It is hard to believe, but the fact is that the usage of contraception actually doubled in six years. But on the flip side, data shows that it has failed to cut down upon the rates of conception or sexually transmitted infections says a report published by Dailymail.
The findings are in sync with that of the Cochrane Library Review that raises questions on the recently cleared rule. As per it, the British government has laid out a plan to promote the usage of emergency contraception as part of its Teenage Pregnancy Strategy.
It was observed that in the year 1996 only 6 per cent of the women who went for an abortion had used emergency contraception. Six years later this figure has risen to 12 per cent.
The survey, which involved a participation of 8,000 women in the US, India, China and Sweden, made it clear that women who take an advance supply of the morning-after pill stand at par with those who don’t, in terms of becoming pregnant.
