N2  - Key findings: Data from the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth In 2006-2010, among sexually experienced women aged 15-44, roughly one in nine (11% or 5.8 million) women had ever used emergency contraception, up from 4.2% in 2002. Most women who had ever used emergency contraception had done so once (59%) or twice (24%). Young adult women aged 20-24 were most likely to have ever used emergency contraception; about one in four had done so (23%). Almost 1 in 5 never-married women (19%), 1 in 7 cohabiting women (14%), and 1 in 20 currently or formerly married women (5.7%) had ever used emergency contraception. About one in two women reported using emergency contraception because of fear of method failure (45%), and about one in two reported use because they had unprotected sex (49%).<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
