    Objective: To determine the scientific evidence on the knowledge and use of emergency oral contraception in women of reproductive age. Design: This study was conducted through a narrative review of various scientific articles, selecting those with descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational, case, and cohort methodologies. Articles published between 2017 and 2022 were considered, and 30 articles were reviewed. Results: According to the obtained results, the methodology used was 64% descriptive, 21% correlational, 10% cohort, and 2% cases and reviews. Regarding knowledge, 53% had low knowledge, 30% had medium knowledge, and 17% had high knowledge. Regarding use, 47% had poor use of emergency oral contraception, 37% had regular use, and 17% had good use. Conclusions: The reviewed scientific evidence confirms that the lack of knowledge and, consequently, the improper use of emergency oral contraception arise due to a lack of information and insufficient health promotion.
