Statistical analysis was done with the Epi\u2010Info 2002 statistical package. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Every day contraceptive consultancy was done by 91.8% of physicians and 98.4% reported ever having inserted intrauterine contraception. The majority of doctors reported careful selection of intrauterine contraception candidates, including screening for sexually transmitted infections before insertion. Intrauterine contraception insertion was definitely excluded in women without a stable monogamous relationship only by 9.8%. A causal relationship between intrauterine contraception and pelvic inflammatory disease was believed by 52.5%. Many doctors sometimes prescribed prophylactic antibiotics before or immediately after intrauterine contraception insertion. However, antibiotics were never prescribed before intrauterine contraception insertion by 50.8%. Younger doctors had significantly more often themselves used combined oral contraceptives than had older doctors, whereas older doctors more often had been intrauterine contraception users. Of current and former intrauterine contraception users, 93.4% were satisfied with this contraceptive method. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Latvian obstetrician\u2013gynecologists have wide experience in contraception counseling of intrauterine contraception, but some gaps in the theoretical knowledge of doctors about intrauterine contraception were identified. We could not find any significant differences in attitudes to and personal experience with contraceptive methods between older and younger generations, nor were there any differences between genders of obstetrician\u2013gynecologists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340600590451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,8]],"date-time":"2009-12-08T17:34:58Z","timestamp":1260293698000},"page":"583-588","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Practices and perceptions on intrauterine contraception among Latvian obstetrician\u2013gynecologists"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Ilze","family":"Viberga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viveca","family":"Odlind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jana","family":"Zodzika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/beog.2002.0267"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0010-7824(02)00304-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","unstructured":"Family Planning Worldwide 2002 Data Sheet.Population Reference Bureau Washington DC 2003."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","unstructured":"World Population Data Sheet.Population Reference Bureau Washington DC 2004."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0029-7844(01)01726-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"81","article-title":"A survey of GP views in intra\u2010uterine contraception","volume":"26","author":"Gupta S","year":"2000","journal-title":"Br J Fam Plann"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.1994.tb138195.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02813439409003698"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","first-page":"259","article-title":"Contraceptive prescription: physicians\u2019 beliefs, attitudes and socio\u2010demographic characteristics","volume":"82","author":"Russell ML","year":"1991","journal-title":"Can J Public Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2003.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","first-page":"61","article-title":"Barriers to use of IUDs as emergency contraception","volume":"25","author":"Reuter S","year":"1999","journal-title":"Br J Fam Plann"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","first-page":"19","article-title":"Practice, attitudes and knowledge of Czech and Slovak gynaecologists concerning contraception","volume":"23","author":"Visser A","year":"1994","journal-title":"Plan Parent Eur"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","first-page":"26","article-title":"Contraception Russia: attitude, knowledge and practice of doctors","volume":"22","author":"Visser AP","year":"1993","journal-title":"Plan Parent Eur"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","unstructured":"Reproductive Health of the Population of Latvia: Evaluation and Recommendations.UNDPA\/Ministry of Welfare Riga 1998."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(99)70426-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1783\/147118901101195155"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_2","unstructured":"Improving access to quality care in family planning: Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use.World Health Organization Reproductive Health and Research Geneva 2000."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13625180410001715672"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)02699-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_2","first-page":"903","article-title":"Take a fresh look at IUDs.
