A survey of tertiary students in Far North Queensland in regard to their knowledge of contraceptive methods and services revealed significant deficiencies, suggesting that existing sex education and contraceptive advice services need improving if unplanned pregnancy rates are to be reduced in this population. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 54(4), p. 386-389 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1479-828X 0004-8666 |
