Data were collected through a web-based survey using the online survey software Qualtrics (Qualtrics, Provo, UT, USA) and was distributed via the social networking site Facebook.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2015-0027_s_996_w2aab2b8c25b1b7b1aab1c16b4Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The survey was started by 1185 participants. The most popular contraceptive method among females is the oral contraceptive pill (63.7%). Four out of ten females (42.6%) do not know that when using an emergency pill, they must still take their regular contraceptive pill on the same day. The majority of female respondents (80.0%) go to their general practitioner for a prescription for the pill. Ninety-five percent (95.1%) of the females would feel comfortable asking their GP for extra information about the drug. The sex of the GP does not influence the likelihood of female patients seeking more information. The Internet also seems to serve as an important source of information. We defined a female subgroup, called \u201cvulnerable\u201d. The majority of females in the non-vulnerable group (70.4%) protected themselves before their first sexual contact instead of only half of the members in the vulnerable group (51.0%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2015-0027_s_995_w2aab2b8c25b1b7b1aab1c16b5Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The level of knowledge among adolescents about contraception is not alarming, but there are a few blind spots.
