Contraception is reviewed in 314 teenage Nigerian school girls comprising 128 students at secondary and 186 at tertiary levels of institution. Out of all the teenagers, 26.8% were sexually exposed, among whom there was a total pregnancy rate of 19.05%. The rate of sexual exposure was higher in teenagers from tertiary institutions, 38.7% compared with 9.4% from secondary institutions. However, the pregnancy rate was higher among the sexually exposed secondary school girls, 33% vs. 16.7% for tertiary school girls. The mean level of contraceptive awareness for the various methods of contraception was 38.2% for the entire survey group: 22.6% for the secondary school girls and 54.4% for the tertiary school girls. Mean true contraceptive usage (TCU) among sexually active students, on the other hand, was 17.7%: 5% and 16.5% for the secondary school girls and tertiary school girls, respectively. The source of information on contraception for the study group was highest from 'a friend' (37.3%) and from the 'newsprint' (36.9%) and was lowest from routine 'lectures and sex instructions' (9.2%). Twenty-five point five per cent of the entire study group, 43% of the secondary school girls and 13.4% of the tertiary school girls, had never had any information on contraception. Instruction on contraception, as part of the academic curricula at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education, would improve contraceptive knowledge and forestall the emotional and social problems resulting from unwanted teenage pregnancies.

The present study was conducted to compare the therapeutic regimens of low-dose mifepristone (200 mg) plus vaginal meteneprost versus oral misoprostol in terms of efficacy and safety for medical termination of early pregnancy. A randomized clinical trial was conducted by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. A total of 101 subjects were enrolled within 56 days of amenorrhea. A single dose of 200 mg of mifepristone (RU 486) was given and, 48 hr later, prostaglandin was administered as either 5 mg of 9 methylene PGE2 vaginal gel, meteneprost (classified as group I) or 600 microg of oral PGE1 derivative misoprostol (classified as group II). In group I, 50 subjects and in group II, 51 subjects were treated with the respective schedule. The success rate with mifepristone + misoprostol (group II) was 88.63% which was significantly higher than that with mifepristone + meteneprost (group I) which was 82% (p < 0.05). The average duration of bleeding in cases with complete abortion was 8.95+/-5.67 and 9.77+/-6.51 in group I and II, respectively. There were no serious side-effects. Only one subject in group I (2%) required blood transfusion for heavy bleeding. This study indicated that oral prostaglandin after a low dose of mifepristone (200 mg) could be developed into an effective method to terminate early pregnancy. Oral administration of both drugs would be a more convenient, feasible, private and acceptable regimen.
