Modern Contraception refers to different methods used in preventing pregnancy. There are quite a number of effective contraceptive methods but each country might not have every single type.

For many young people, using contraceptives is not something to think about before having sex. Yet at the same time, young people are worried about unplanned pregnancies, avoiding abortions, and catching STDs.
