Contraception: no 45% of girls

"Italian children know very little about contraception and this is undoubtedly an important obstacle to the" use of effective methods ", said Rossella Nappi, associate professor of the Obstetrics & Gynecological Clinic of the University of Pavia:" Behind the non-use of contraceptives there are basically two reasons: the lack of knowledge of contraception and the fear that girls have towards hormonal contraception. But even in this case there is "disinformation enters." It is precisely for this reason that it started in mid-October "Pill without Pill", an information campaign wanted by Msd Italia (the Italian subsidiary of Merck & Co), which aims to relaunch hormonal contraception.
