EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION AMONG YOUTH POPULATION
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Problem statement. Every forth young woman in Russia has had sexual intercourse by the age of 17, around 40% of them did not use any method of contraception. Emergency contraception (EC) among young people in most cases can prevent unplanned pregnancy.Objective. To determine of frequency of EC use and awareness of EC among young people.Methods. The method of questioning was used (36 items). There were questions about gynecological anamnesis, experience in EC usage (female respondents only) and theoretical knowledge of EC (all participants). The questionnaire was presented in social networks and on paper carriers.The questionnaire was filled by 952 young persons (female u2013 802 (84.2%), male u2013150 (15.8%)) from various educational institutions, young doctors of different specialties, others. Mean age was 20.7u00b11.6 years (from 15 to 24 years). The group was a simple random sample.Results. Almost 10% of young women had pregnancy in the past, half of them were unplanned. Two thirds of unplanned pregnancies ended with medical abortions. One third of female respondents (32,9%) has used EC at least once, in all the cases they preferred levonorgestrel pills. The prevalence of EC usage grew with the increase of the respondents age. The majority of participants think that administration of EC is justifiable if unprotected sexual intercourse has taken place. Up to 65% of respondents know the right regimen of EC administration, a quarter of the participants have incorrect information, others were unable to answer. The greater part of all participants (63%) have incorrectly assume that repeated use of EC leads to infertility and reduction of effectiveness of EC methods. No one was aware of the possibility of an emergency intrauterine contraceptive introduction after unprotected intercourse.Knowledge of EC among schoolchildren and students of non-medical institutions was the lowest.Conclusions. Young people in Russia are highly aware of the existence of EC as such, but they have insufficient knowledge of it. It is highly important to give special lectures on family planning and contraception in schools and universities as it helps young people to maintain their reproductive health by using safe and effective methods of contraception.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
