There have been multiple studies done on the use of standard contraception methods and emergency contraception methods. Although none of these studies has focused on a certain group, as such the first article covered will be focused on a survey of emergency contraception use by college students, mainly women but men were included in the survey as well, demographics was used to break down the results of the survey. This survey concludes that the use of emergency contraception by college age women has seen a steady increase over the past few years. The second article will cover basic contraception use among American women age 15 to 44.
This study will focus on methods used and also the effectiveness of the methods used. With the increase in sexual activity by not only men but women as well there is an increased need for both traditional and emergency contraceptives. The reviewed articles both show that these types of contraception have and will continue to be used by the sexually active population now and in the years to come. Both articles go in depth about how the information was collected and break the data down into categories.
The first article covers a study that was performed at a large university to explore the increase in the use of emergency contraceptive use by college age women. The study hypothesized that use of emergency contraception methods by female college students has seen an increase in consideration and use recent years. The study was conducted to find out if there was any truth to this theory. The study was conducted at a large public university, and included 942 students. It included college students in the age group of approximately 18-24 years of age. The method used to conduct the research was through survey of a specific group. This survey focused on female college students as they are the “prime potential user”1 of emergency contraception methods. The survey was completed in two parts. One part gathered data from the clinic, of which 207 submitted survey data, the other part from the classroom, of which 381 female and 354 male students submitted survey responses.

The results of the study found that the consideration and use of emergency contraception has increased. The study found that “just over 58% of college women sampled reported ever considering EC, and just under 47% reported actual use.”2 The surveys conducted in the last decade have indicated that most female college students are at least aware that there is a form of emergency contraception available. Of the female students who were surveyed a greater percentage of African American, Hispanic, and Asian women were shown to have used an emergency contraceptive than white women. Also women between the ages of 20 and 21 were more likely to have used some form of emergency contraception. The study also broke down the data collected by the class in which the participants fell, and found that the sophomore class was the predominant user of emergency contraception.
According to the report by Guttmacher there are approximately 62 million women in the United States that are of child bearing age, which the article determines is between the age of 15 and 44 years old. The article also states that “About 43 million of them (70%) are at risk of unintended pregnancy.”3 The number of sexually active women in the US is a good percentage of the population; out of this group over 99% of women have used at least one contraception method. Also about 62% of women who are of child bearing age currently use some type of contraception method. Married women account for the largest demographic who use some form of contraception at 77%, while non-married women are only sitting at about 42%. This is mainly due to the fact that married women are more likely to be sexually active than un married women. According to the report non-permanent methods are used by 64% of the women who use contraception methods.

The other 37% rely on male or female sterilization, with female sterilization being the more common of the two at 27%. The pill is most widely used by Caucasian women, teens, and women who are not married, as well as college students and women without children. Other types of hormonal methods of contraception have also increased over the past decade, climbing from 4.5% in 2005 to 23% in 2006-2010. The sterilization method is more common among Hispanic and African Americans. Currently 82% of female teens who are at risk of un wanted pregnancy use some type of contraceptive. Teenagers who engage in sexual activity without using a contraception method are twice as likely to become pregnant. Within the teen demographic 78% of females and 85% of males used a contraception method the first time that they had a sexual experience. The most common method of contraception used among teens is the male condom. Modern methods of contraception have become very effective at preventing unwanted pregnancy, when used correctly.
IUD contraception has been identified as the most effective non-permanent contraception method in use, with “failure rates of less than 1% for both perfect and typical use.”4 With typical use oral contraceptives, patches and the vaginal ring have an effective rate of 91%. Male condoms are 98% effective when used correctly, but are only 18% effective with typical use. The use of contraception methods has decreased the occurrence of unwanted pregnancy in both married couples and sexually active singles. Also healthy pregnancies are increased due to pregnancy not happening to late or early in life. Hormonal methods can also be used to control excessive menstrual bleeding and pain, as well as acne. Federal and state governments provide funding for contraceptive disbursement through family planning services. As for those who do not rely on public assistance for contraceptive support; nine out of ten employee health insurance plans cover prescription contraceptives.

The two articles had some similarities in that they both evaluated the use of contraception methods. Both used data collected by different agencies to analyze the use of the contraception methods by different groups of women. Each of the articles examined the use of contraception methods by women. However the first article focused mainly on the use of emergency contraception methods by female college students. The second article examined contraception use by a larger group of people to include males, and females, and split this data into age groups and the various benefits and effectiveness of contraception use. The first article found that emergency contraception methods are used more by non-married women, while the second article displays higher use of traditional contraception methods by married women. The value of reading this information is to learn not only what the methods of contraception are but also how they are used, and who they are used by.
The articles also do a good job of displaying the demographical data of who uses these methods of contraception, which helps the reader to understand groups that the subjects of the study belong to. The first article displays the information in a way that is hard for the reader to follow, while the second article is laid out in a very easy to follow format, there are no real cons to the second article. The scholarly approach is good because it gives concise information based on a controlled study. The popular media approach gives detailed statistics about the data that it presents to the reader. Professors require students to use papers from professional and peer reviewed sources to enable students to get knowledge from a reliable source. There are many methods for studying sex formally than just from popular media sources, which include classes such as this one.
The insight gained from this review allows for a better understanding the use of both emergency and traditional methods of contraception or birth control. The two different formats of article are similar while at the same time different, and cover two different types of birth control used by both men and women. The information contained in the first article is applicable to younger age groups, while the information displayed in the second article applies to all most all members of society. Both of the papers that are reviewed where interesting to read and had some interesting information in them.

The first article could be of interest to both college students and other young adults. The information in the second article was very informative and was laid out in a easy to follow format that helped the article to be easier to read. After reading both articles a better understanding of the methods of contraception was gained. It was easy to see that different types of contraception are used by all members of society even men. I think that the average reader would be interested in reading either one of these articles based solely on the information presented in the articles themselves. I learned some information that I did not know before reading these articles, and I am glad that I read them.
