develop a community-based work to support preventive interventions aiming to decrease the number of pregnancies and abortions.

The demographic targets of this project are:

• To spread awareness on emergency contraception amongst young girls and woman aged 16 to 24.

• To provide the service to girls and woman from any ethnicity.

• To provide the service to 480 girl and young woman in a year.

• To focus in the area with high incidence of unintended pregnancies, abortions, and repeated abortions.

• To prioritise people from unprivileged and vulnerable backgrounds.

Service users perspective in regards to EC are:

• There is a lack of awareness on the most effective emergency contraception methods and where to obtain (EC).

• Sexual health services and professionals not informing young girls and woman correctly about the full range of contraceptives,

including emergency contraception and which one is more effective (RCOG, 2017).

• Some community pharmacies charging up to £35 for emergency contraception when it should be provided free of charge.

However, most women end up buying (EC) from pharmacies (RCOG, 2017).

• The need of more information about emergency contraception delivered face-to-face using the spoken method and advertised

through written materials, as most information available are either online or through telephone.

• Feeling of fear, judgment and embarrassment when looking for information or services on emergency contraception.

The goals of this proposal are:

• To implement an alternative community-based service.

• To provide a youth friendly service.

• To promote advertising of the project in the local newspaper and in the radio.

• To support public health system and NHS by maximizing services and saving costs.

• To provide safe, effective and evidence-based information through an integrated care model.

• To develop a community-based work to support preventive interventions aiming to decrease the number of pregnancies and

abortions.
