Emergency contraception is a method of preventing pregnancy.
One method is to take two specific dose of oral pills with the same active ingredients found in daily oral contraceptive pills shortly after unprotected intercourse. PATH also assists local agencies to train health care providers and conduct media campaigns to increase public awareness about emergency contraception. Funding for the Consortium has come primarily from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The Emergency Contraception Collaborative Agreement Pilot Project in Washington state is the first of its kind in the United States. The project, implemented by PATH and several partner agencies, makes emergency contraception more available to women by allowing them to obtain the product directly from their local pharmacist.
