Pharmacy provision of emergency contraception to men: A survey of pharmacist attitudes in Rhode Island

Pharmacists and technicians commonly believed that male EC purchases did not occur or occurred rarely; however, more than one-half of this population sold EC to men. Although the majority expressed personal reservations against providing EC to men, they still agreed that men should have access to EC. These findings suggest that pharmacies are an acceptable setting for male EC access and that although refusal exists, it may not be a barrier to access.
