Contraceptive knowledge and attitudes among 14-24-year-olds in New South Wales, Australia.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: While young people, particularly young women, expressed attitudes conducive to contraceptive use, many are unaware of basic facts about methods, including highly effective LARC. Our findings reflect the modest reproductive and sexual health education received by Australian young people and cultural norms of condoms and oral contraceptives as default methods and highlight the need to improve knowledge, among young men, in particular, about the most effective contraceptive methods.
