Résumé :

Good knowledge of the available contraceptive methods ensures better acceptability, continuity and satisfaction, and lower failure rates of these methods. This paper describes an inquiry on the contraceptive knowledge in 114 women attending three Brussels family planning clinics. Misconceptions, beliefs in false rumors, and considerable insufficiencies in knowledge were detected. In order to increase patient's ability to correctly use birth control methods, so as to lower unwanted pregnancy rate, efforts should be made by health practitioners as well as by mass media and teaching institutions.
