摘要：
Unintended pregnancy is a common public health issue worldwide, especially in the MENA region. Unintended pregnancy has two subtypes (unplanned and unwanted). Emergency contraception (EC) plays a vital role in preventing unintended pregnancy up to 98% by delaying ovulation or preventing implantation. It is available over the counter in most of the Arab world. In our study the investigating group wanted to explore knowledge attitude and practice among women of Saudi Arabia towards EC. To achieve this objective a validated survey was used as study tool. It was found that there is improved knowledge, attitude and practice among women towards EC utilisation.
