Despite access to high-quality family planning services and contraceptive devices, women in St. Petersburg, Russia, continue to rely on ineffective contraception and abortion to limit fertility. These are the findings of a 1995 study I conducted in which 163 adult and teen women were interviewed at two of St. Petersburg's foremost women's health clinics. The study, a cross-sectional, nonrandomized, descriptive design, employs a four-page questionnaire to collect data on socioeconomic background, marriage and parity, and contraception and abortion use. The legacy of family planning in the Soviet era, bias against hormonal contraceptives, and low satisfaction with contraceptive devices indicate that both adult and teen women will continue to rely on abortion as a means of limiting fertility
