flag New study highlights gaps in young people's contraception use and fertility knowledge in Ireland.

flag New research from the ESRI in Ireland found that while 90% of young people use contraception during their first sexual encounter, 40% of men and 32% of women do not always use it. flag The study showed low knowledge about fertility, with only 21% of men and 37% of women correctly identifying the most fertile time in a woman’s cycle. flag Peer influence significantly impacts the age of first sexual activity, with reliance on friends leading to earlier sexual encounters. flag The study suggests a need for improved sexual health education and public health messaging on contraception use.
