The introduction of widespread nonprescription delivery of hormonal emergency contraception (EC) calls for development of innovative tools to provide information to and gather feedback from EC users. Individuals seeking confidential information on sexual health and contraception are increasingly turning to the Internet as the resource of choice. This study employed analytical software and manual content analysis to examine the use of a website dedicated to an EC product (www.norlevo.com) over the course of 2 years. Frequency of visits to and pageviews of the site increased consistently over the 2-year time period, and the bulk of the visitors to the site were EC users seeking responses to frequently asked questions. The most common concern raised by users was the occurrence of spotting and menstrual bleeding following EC use. This analysis reveals that within the context of nonprescription access to hormonal EC, a website can constitute a potent educational tool for health professionals and EC users and provide a valuable source of post-marketing feedback on product use.
