Women experiencing domestic violence are more than twice as likely as those in the general population to seek out the emergency contraceptive pill (ECP), a UK study finds.
The analysis of 200,000 medical records also shows that women experiencing abuse are nearly 50% more likely to make multiple requests for emergency contraception than age-matched counterparts.
