title: [Adolescents and prevention--use of contraception by Norwegian adolescents during the most recent intercourse and during casual sex].
abstract: The paper describes the use of contraception at the most recent intercourse and during casual sex among Norwegian adolescents. The empirical data stem from a population-based survey of 3,000 Norwegian adolescents aged 17-19. The response rate was 60.9%. A total of 17.7% did not use any contraception at the most recent intercourse, 9.0% practised withdrawal, 31.2% used a condom, and 39.0% used the p-pill. Among those who reported having experienced casual sex, no use of contraception was most frequent (38.0%) on the most recent occasion of casual sex, whereas 18.4% reported having used a condom on this occasion. 5.1% of the adolescents were characterized as consistently not using contraception.
