The Allahabad Farmer Vol. LXVIII, January - 2013 No. 2sample size was 400. Initially, simple random sampling was done to select the institution.Then proportionate sampling was done to select the number of sample from eachinstitution. Finally, systematic random sampling was done for the selection of ultimaterespondents from each institution.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONEarly sexual activity in young women is fraught with a relatively higher chance ofunprotected sexual intercourse. This is because of the nature of their relationship withtheir partners, which may involve difficulties in negotiating safe sex as well as problemsin having a steady relationship. Hence when young women choose to have sexualintercourse, multiple strategies are necessary to encourage them to avoid unintendedpregnancies. One such strategy is to increase awareness of emergency contraceptionamong them. Education could play a significant role in developing self-confidence,increasing age at first sexual intercourse and delaying marriage. However, it also providesan opportunity for pre-marital sexual activity. Such activity may create risks of unwantedpregnancy if it is combined with a lack of knowledge about the body and contraception.Regarding the Socio-demographic profile, the study revealed that majority ofrespondents (66%) lies in the age group of 15 to 17 years. Female sample size was foundto be more. Referring to the age group, majority of respondents were unmarried (94.25%)and not engaged in any type of employment (99%).It is evident from the study that respondent's attitude regarding different aspects ofEC was found favorable as compared to their knowledge on EC. The awareness of ECwas found 47% (188/400) which is higher than the level found in university students ofTurkey (14.5%), Uganda (45%) and Nigeria (18%). In contrast to this, it is lower thanthe university students in Kathmandu (66%), Mexico (60%) and India (50%). Amongthe respondents who were aware of EC, very few of them mentioned the correct definitionand consuming time (17% and 10% respectively). In context of various brand names ofECPs, respondents had very little knowledge about the pills which are made solely forthe purpose of emergency contraception like e-con, Postinor-2 and i-pill. Regarding thismatter, majority of the respondents accepted combined OCPs as ECPs i.e. 35%. Regardingthe uses of ECPs in different situations, only few respondents were aware of it. TableNo. 1 shows the concerned findings. Furthermore, the level of knowledge was assessedby which following findings were found.126
