Abstract
Objective. To define preferences and the level of awareness about contraceptives among sexually active medical students in Russia and European countries. Subject and methods. A specially designed questionnaire was placed in the public networks. The group is a simple random sample. A total of 213 (156 Russian and 57 foreign) medical students took part. Results. Combined contraception is used by 86.5 and 29.3% of % of foreign and Russian female students, respectively. A dual method (combined contraception and a condom) is not used by 46.4 and 16.2% of Russian and foreign students, respectively. In Russia, young people choose lowly effective methods (only a condom, coitus interruptus) three times more often than in foreign countries; 16.7% of couples in Russia do not use contraception. The students’ knowledge of contraceptive methods depends on the availability of a specialized contraception course in the curriculum of higher educational establishments.
