VILNIUS - Over two-thirds of Lithuania's residents do not use modern birth-control methods, a recent RAIT poll has shown.
According to Esmeralda Kuliesyte, director of the Family Planning and Sexual Health Association, the survey aimed to discover how Lithuanians protect themselves from unplanned pregnancy, what determines their selection of contraceptive methods, and society's attitude toward modern birth-control.
The poll confirmed fears that the birth control situation is more than critical, Kuliesyte noted, as 70.1 percent of respondents said they used no contraceptive devices. Merely 27 percent of respondents said they used contraceptives, the most common being condoms (18.5 percent) and birth-control pills (7.2 percent).
