Ease of accessing support

• Respondents found it easiest to use a pharmacy to access contraception or reproductive health care support (27.5% very easy, 37% quite easy)
• Although 37% of respondents stated that somewhere else was very easy, the respondent base for this question is very low and may not be representative of the general population
• For respondents that selected somewhere else the top three choices were: websites, online pharmacy, and e-consult, all digital methods of communication

An asterisk (*) indicates a small base size, caution should be taken when interpreting the results.
