进行了一项探索性横断面调查，以确定协会和潜在的可改变的风险因素，为妇女参加社区精神卫生服务的性和生殖健康需求的管理。女性（n = 220）平均有三次怀孕; 61.2%是计划外的。在过去12个月内性活跃的人中，有四分之一否认使用避孕措施，51%的人使用不太有效的方法。大多数（81.7%）参与巴氏涂片筛查，那些与全科医生（GP）更有可能参与（p = 0.004）。调查结果突出了全科医生在优化妇女健康方面的潜力。考虑到计划外怀孕和避孕趋势，我们建议改善避孕选择，特别是长效可逆方法。
An exploratory cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine associations and potential modifiable risk factors for management of sexual and reproductive health needs for women attending community mental health services. Women (n = 220) had on average three pregnancies; 61.2% were unplanned. One quarter who were sexually active within the past 12 months denied using contraception with 51% using less effective methods. The majority (81.7%) engaged in Pap smear screening, and those with a general practitioner (GP) were more likely to participate (p =.004). Findings highlight GPs' potential in optimizing women's health. Considering unplanned pregnancies and contraception trends, we suggest improved access to contraception options, particularly long-acting reversible methods.
