Frank Haley of KDAZ AM730 Reports: More than 1 in 5 sexually active teen girls have used the morning-after pill – a dramatic increase that likely reflects that it’s easier now for teens to buy the emergency contraceptive.
A report released Wednesday shows teen use of the morning-after pill rose steadily from a decade earlier, when it was 1 in 12. Now, all teens can buy it without a prescription.
The CDC report is based on interviews with about 2,000 people, ages 15 to 19 from 2011 to 2013.
