Methods: A total of 80 adolescents and 178 adults were followed-up at 1-, 3-, and 6-month interval with their compliance, satisfaction, cycle control, and adverse events being assessed. Results: Compliance rate was generally higher among adult users (p<0.05). Partial and complete patch detachment were both significantly higher among adolescents (p<0.05). Self-reported side effects did not differ between both groups and declined over the time. Overall satisfaction was high among most subjects. Compared with previous contraception, most subjects reported better satisfaction with Evra (p<0.05). Conclusion: This investigation observed an overall positive impression of Evra with good compliance among adolescent and adult users. This might be an effect of the convenience of the weekly dosing schedule. Compliance is of utmost importance in teenagers as this age group is at highest risk of unintended pregnancy.
