Emergency Contraception Resource Center

Emergency contraception—contraception used after unprotected sex—has the potential to drastically reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy, yet many people do not know about it or are misinformed about it. ARHP created this resource center to guide health care providers and the general public through volumes of information that are available about emergency contraception. ARHP also manages the Emergency Contraception Hotline and Website (www.NOT-2-LATE.com).
