If any new contraceptive technology is to become a viable option for decreasing unintended pregnancies, women must be willing to use the method and find it acceptable. However, because emergency contraceptive pills have not been widely used, very little is known about this method's acceptability.

PIP: This study examines the experiences and satisfaction of using emergency contraceptive pills in preventing unintended pregnancy among women in the US. The data used were collected through telephone interviews with 235 women aged 18-48 years receiving emergency contraceptive pills through a demonstration project at 13 Kaiser Permanente medical offices in San Diego. The results of the study revealed that 70% of the women were using contraceptive method prior to their use of emergency contraceptive pills. Moreover, the situation that led them to use emergency contraceptive pills was due to contraceptive failure particularly condom failure. Despite an 81% statistics of women experiencing side effects, 91% were satisfied with emergency contraceptive pills and would recommend them to friends and family members. Only 28% agreed that emergency contraceptive pills should be made available over the counter, and 6% from vending machines. Therefore, this method is an important addition to the contraceptive options among women during unprotected sexual intercourse or method failure.
