Synopsis

Premarital sexual activity among the youth has been observed·to be on the
increase worldwide while knowledge and use of contraceptives have bee~ reported
to be low. The medical and social èonsequences of this early onset of sexual
' '
activity among the youth are enormous; for example, teenage pregnancy, abortiôn
and its complications, difficult labour, high rates of school dropouts and high rates
of divorce and marital disharmony.
A cross-sectional survey was carried out at the Ibadan Polytechnic to
determine the knowledge, attitude and use of contraceptive methods among
unmarried students. A total of 750 unmarried students comprising 380 ':'ales
(50.7%) and 370 females (49.3%) resident in the hostels of the polytechnic,
Ibadan were studied. Selection was by stratified random sampling technique and
data collection was done using a pretested, self administered qu~stionnaire.
