All the participants couldgain more knowledge about the effective use ofmodern contraceptives. Knowledge about emergency ontraceptives was extremely limited. Although most participants knew about legalised termination of pregnancy services in the RSA; they didnot know how to access these services. The recommendations address ways in which contraceptive services could be improved
