Resumo: | The last decade has witnessed initiatives to expand access to contraceptives in Brazil. However, the last population-based study on contraception was undertaken in 2006. A household survey in 2015 investigated contraceptive practices in women 15 to 44 years of age living in the city of São Paulo. The current study selected data on young women 15 to 19 years of age. The objectives were to identify the prevalence of contraception, the contraceptives used, sources, and differences in contraceptive practices. The young women are part of a probabilistic study sample. Differences in contraception use were compared by multiple logistic regression analysis. A total of 633 young women were interviewed, of whom 310 (48.5%) were sexually initiated. Of these, 60% reported emergency contraception use at least once in their lives. Emergency contraception use was directly proportional to age and lifetime number of partners. Prevalence of contraception was 81%. The odds of current contraception use were higher among young women residing in the health district of the city with the better social conditions, Catholics, those who reported sexual relations in the previous 30 days, and those with history of an obstetrics and gynaecology visit in the previous year, and inversely proportional to the lifetime number of sex partners. Male condoms and the pill were the most common methods (28.2% and 23%). Most of the women purchased their contraceptives in retail pharmacies (75.2%), and the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) was only a significant source for injectable hormonal contraceptives. Government support for women’s sexual and reproductive rights is still insufficient. |

No obstante, el último estudio de base poblacional sobre anticoncepción se realizó en 2006. Una encuesta domiciliaria investigó la práctica contraceptiva de mujeres de 15 a 44 años, residentes en el municipio de São Paulo en 2015. Para el presente estudio, se seleccionaron los datos relativos a las jóvenes con edad entre 15 y 19 años. Los objetivos fueron: identificar la prevalencia de la anticoncepción, los métodos anticonceptivos adoptados, sus fuentes de obtención y los diferenciales en el uso de métodos anticonceptivos. Las jóvenes integran la muestra probabilística del estudio. Los diferenciales del uso de métodos anticonceptivos fueron evaluados mediante regresión logística múltiple. Se entrevistaron a 633 jóvenes, de las cuales 310 (48,5%) habían comenzado su actividad sexual. De éstas, un 60% informaron el uso de métodos anticonceptivos de emergencia por lo menos una vez en la vida. Este uso fue directamente proporcional a la edad y al número de parejas en su vida. La prevalencia de métodos anticonceptivos fue de un 81%. La oportunidad de estar usando algún método anticonceptivo fue mayor entre las residentes en la región de salud con un mejor desarrollo social, las católicas, las que tuvieron relaciones sexuales en los últimos 30 días y las que fueron a una consulta ginecológica durante el último año. Fue inversamente proporcional al número de parejas en su vida. El preservativo masculino y la píldora fueron los métodos más frecuentes (28,2% y 23% respectivamente). La mayoría de las mujeres compró el contraceptivo en la red comercial de farmacias (75,2%), el Sistema Único de Salud (SUS) fue una fuente significativa solamente para la obtención del anticonceptivo hormonal inyectable. El apoyo del Estado al ejercicio de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos sigue siendo insuficiente.Iniciativas para ampliar o acesso a contraceptivos ocorreram no Brasil na última década.
