Women's Health Issues, 11/02/09
Nguyen BT et al. – Among the respondents, 81.8% knew about EC. Men were less likely than women to know about EC; however, their rates of purchase were not different statistically. Many men felt they should offer to buy EC if needed (56.1%), that their purchases would prevent unplanned pregnancies (67.6%), and that the decision to use EC was a woman's (75.4%); 73.8% of women agreed that men should always have EC access. No perceived need, not knowing how to obtain EC, and preferring women to obtain EC were frequently cited barriers to male purchase. Only concerns about female user side effects predicted a decreased willingness to buy EC among men. Given the authors' findings that men have bought and would buy EC while respecting a woman's decision to use it, and that women would support male access, this study suggests that men have an interest in preventing unplanned pregnancy that considers the health and decisions of their female partners. Avenues for educating more men about EC and its pharmacy availability should be explored.
