Acceptability of the Copper Intrauterine Device (Cu-IUD) as a form of emergency contraception
Emergency contraception (EC) can be used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. Currently three main methods of EC are available in Australia: Ulipristal Acetate pill, 1.5mg Levonorgestrel pill, and the Copper Intrauterine Device (Cu-IUD). The Cu-IUD is the most effective EC, and is also the only form of EC to provide ongoing, effective reversible contraception. However, it is the least frequently used method of EC.
