title: [Young girls and contraception.  A survey conducted in the MFPF family planning center, Strasbourg, in 1985].
abstract: The results of a survey on contraception among 513 adolescent women attending a family planning clinic in Strasbourg, France, in 1985 are presented.  "Eighty percent of them were attending school.  In over half the cases, this was their first consultation for contraceptive advice.  33% of the subjects did not return after this initial consultation.  The age at which sexual intercourse first occurred was between 14 and 17, with a peak at 15-16 years of age.  Most of the girls attending this Family Planning Center were told about it by friends or a sister (78%) and they rarely told their parents what they were doing (76%).  Most of them (63%) preferred a woman doctor for a contraceptive consultation." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
