The Irish Contraception and Crisis Pregnancy Study 2010 (ICCP-2010) is a cross-sectional telephone survey of adults aged from 18 to 45 years and living in Ireland. ICCP-2010 follows on from two other national sexual health surveys: the 2003 Irish Contraception and Crisis Pregnancy Study (ICCP-2003) and the 2006 Irish Study of Sexual Health and Relationships (ISSHR). It seeks to provide: (1) data on current knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in relation to sex, contraception and pregnancy in Ireland; and (2) an opportunity to explore trends in relation to sex, contraception and pregnancy in Ireland over a number of years.
Non-probability: Quota. The primary ‘national’ sample, recruited using a telephone interview methodology, was a cross-sectional representative sample of 3,002 men and women who were aged 18 to 45 years and living in Ireland. Quota sampling was used to ensure that the sample was representative of the general population. A similar sample was targeted in ICCP2003, therefore facilitating a comparison between the two surveys.
