Emergency contraception over‐the‐counter: Practices and attitudes of pharmacists and pharmacy assistants in far North Queensland

Background:  Emergency contraception (EC) has been available as a Schedule 3 (over‐the‐counter, OTC) medication through Australian pharmacies since 2004. This study aimed to describe OTC EC dispensing services in pharmacies in the Cairns and Hinterland Health Service District and to explore the knowledge and attitudes of pharmacy staff. The study findings will assist in developing resources to support pharmacy staff in their OTC EC provision role.
