Abstract To address adolescents' risks in unintentional pregnancy, the World Health Organization has called upon the world to increase adolescents' access to contraceptive knowledge and services including emergency contraception. Because of the severer impact of repetitive abortions on the health of female adolescents, we suggest to use emergency contraceptive services to help prevent repetitive abortions among female adolescents. This paper reveals, based on the data from seven hospitals in Beijing, that the higher rate of failures of the use of conventional contraception as well as emergency contraception contributes to the repetitive abortions experienced by unmarried female adolescents. Unmarried female adolescents who have experienced repetitive abortions generally do not have knowledge as well as information on emergency contraception. Doctors who provide services to the unmarried female adolescents are the ideal ones to also give them related information. In all, medical service personnel who provide services, including emergency contraception, to unmarried female adolescents who have just had an abortion, are frontline workers to prevent repetitive abortions.
