NCT ID NCT07413484
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study surveyed 459 adult heterosexual men in France to evaluate their knowledge of both female and male contraception methods. The goal was to identify gaps in understanding that could be addressed through better sexual education. Researchers hope this information can help reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help tailor sexual education programs to better inform men about contraception, potentially reducing unwanted pregnancies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a survey study, not a treatment trial. It only measures knowledge and does not test any intervention, so it cannot directly change outcomes.
