Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Periodic abstinence is the least recommended method of contraception for adolescents. Natural family planning involves fertility awareness methods that greatly rely on the menstrual cycles. It may take a few more years before the client can fully establish a regular menstrual cycle. Natural family methods also require the adolescent to avoid sex during certain times. This may be a difficult task for an adolescent who is exposed to peer pressure or who lacks confidence or assertiveness.
