All About health 19 How did you score?


For each correct answer, give yourself three points. Correct answers are: 1c); 2d); 3c); 4d); 5c); 6d).


13-18 points You really do know your contraception methods, well done. So you probably also know that many Careway pharmacies sell certain types, such as condoms, as well as spermicide creams, gels, foams and suppositories that help make barrier contraceptives more effective. If you need advice about contraceptives, many pharmacies have private rooms so you can talk to your pharmacist in confidence.


7-12 points A really good effort, give yourself a pat on the back. But there may be a few gaps in your knowledge. If you need to start using contraception or you want to find a new method, the NHS has a contraception choices website that may be useful – visit www.contraceptionchoices.org to find information that may help you make the right choice for you. Alternatively, have a chat with your local Careway pharmacist.


0-6 points Your contraception IQ may not be that high, but the main thing to remember is your local Careway pharmacist is on hand to provide information and to help you make decisions when you need them. It’s also worth remembering that most pharmacies sell the emergency contraceptive pill – sometimes called the morning-after pill – which you should take as soon as possible after having unprotected sex (within three or five days).
