Young people who know the facts about contraception are empowered to prevent an unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) and focus on their goals and aspirations By learning about all contraceptive options now, young people will be fully prepared to effectively use the right contraception for them when they decide to have sex Myths and misconceptions about sex and contraception are widespread so it important that young people learn from reliable, unbiased sources of information The WCD website, contains accurate and unbiased information on contraception to help young people, in discussion with their healthcare professional, choose which option is right for them WCD delivers the following information to young people.

3 BAYER S COMMITMENT TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH Bayer HealthCare is committed to supporting World Contraception Day to improve the level of education on sexual and reproductive health Bayer HealthCare has a long history in women s health and is committed to improving education on sexual and reproductive health THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES AND STIS Incidence of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections Worldwide, more than 41% of the 208 million pregnancies that occur each year are unplanned 1 Every year, up to 16 million adolescent females aged 15 to 19 give birth. In this age group, pregnancy-related deaths are the leading cause of mortality for young women 2 Each year, contraception prevents 188 million unplanned pregnancies which results in 112 million fewer abortions, 1.1 million fewer newborn deaths and 150,000 fewer maternal deaths 3 More than half of all women of reproductive age in developing countries, approximately 867 million, want to avoid pregnancy. In this region, a total of 222 million women have an unmet need for modern contraception 3 If unmet need for contraception was fully satisfied, 53 million more unplanned pregnancies could be prevented every year 4 In 2011, teenagers in the United States and United Kingdom were over six times more likely to give birth than teenagers in the Netherlands 5 More than 1 million people acquire a sexually transmitted infection every day. Each year, an estimated 500 million people acquire one of four sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis. This does not include HIV and other STIs which continue to adversely affect the lives of individuals and communities worldwide 6 STIs disproportionately affect women and adolescent girls. One in 20 adolescent girls get a bacterial infection through sexual contact every year and the age at which infections are acquired is getting younger 7 Young adults (15-24 years old) make up only 25% of the sexually active population, but represent almost 50% of all new acquired sexually transmitted diseases 8
4 Impact of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections Unplanned pregnancies constitute a global problem associated with substantial costs to health and social services and emotional distress to women, their families and society 9 Children born to teenage mothers are much more likely to experience a range of negative outcomes in later life, such as developmental disabilities, behavioral issues and poor academic performance 10 The 1990s witnessed significant gains in access to reproductive health and family planning, but in many less developed countries (LDCs), particularly from Africa, the progress has come to a stand-still since about Investing in both family planning and maternal and newborn health services would save lives and $1.5 billion less than providing maternal and newborn services alone 12 Every 1 invested in contraception saves the UK National Health Service 11 plus additional welfare costs, which is a powerful economic argument for maintaining contraceptive services 13 Teen childbearing in the United States costs taxpayers (federal, state, and local) at least $9.4 billion annually 14 Young people s sexual behavior 44% of young people prioritize personal hygiene, including showering, waxing and applying perfume, above contraception when preparing for a date that may lead to sex 15 Studies show that young people do not consider the internet the most trustworthy source of information about contraception 16 Embarrassment is a key risk factor in young people's sexual behavior. This can mean that they resist seeking information and advice about sex and contraception 17 School-based sex education delays rather than hastens the onset of sexual activity 18
5 FACTS AROUND THE WCD THEME KNOW YOUR OPTIONS Figure 1 shows a comparison of the typical effectiveness of contraceptive methods 19 In the UK, the NHS offers 15 different methods of contraception with the pill and the condom being the preferred choices 20,21 Over 90% of people in the UK cannot name the 15 types of contraception options available to them 22 Nearly half of young women (44% of year olds) are not aware they might not be using contraception that is the best fit for their age and lifestyle 22 Almost a quarter (23%) of young people admit they have unanswered questions about contraception and sexual health (female 23% and male 23%) 22 Nearly a quarter of people (23%) choose their contraception without asking for the options first (female 21% and male 28%) 22 HOW WILL WCD BE RECOGNIZED AROUND THE WORLD? A series of media events will be taking place in different countries around the world, as well as a variety of other local activities, including school / college and healthcare professional campaigns.
