[Contraception in adolescents--address on the occasion of the FBA 2002].

In Germany we observe an increasing number of unwanted teenage pregnancies associated with a consecutively escalating rate of abortions. The education at school, through parents and public media does not show sufficient prevention efficacy. One of the key issues in this context seems to be the discrepancy between time of education and premature sexual activity. Suitable contraceptives are required to meet individual needs and parameters of the adolescent. There are various suitable options as low dose oral contraception of the new generation, long-term depot contraceptives, the Nuva-Ring and future transdermal and subcutaneous contraceptives currently under evaluation. The interests and demands of the teenage patient are the focus of attention but the legal ground has to be taken into consideration, too: Contraception for adolescents provides potential conflict of interest for the physician and thus makes knowledge of recent laws essential.
