Abstract

Family planning is a right that all people of fertile age who wish to begin their sexual life have; it is based on safe, free and voluntary access to sexual and reproductive health services, which indicate the most recommended contraceptive methods for the person and how they should be used. The objective of family planning is to avoid adverse health situations, unwanted pregnancies and that people can safely and satisfactorily experience their sexual life. The main objective of the present study is to expose the knowledge of family planning methods and sexual health in university students. Globally, there is a 49% prevalence of people who practice family planning, with the United Kingdom having the highest percentage of the population of childbearing age with access to family planning with a percentage of 91.1%. It is expected to establish the knowledge about family planning methods and to refer the consequences of the lack of knowledge among university students.
