Overview / Abstract: |
Despite having the highest rates of effectiveness amongst contraceptives, few women in the U.S. use long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), placing them at risk of unintended pregnancies. Myriad of clinician, systemic, and patient factors contribute to low rates of use. Education on the appropriate use of LARCs along with proper insertion techniques has been demonstrated to increase their use and reduce unintended pregnancy rates. Expanding the number of providers with background in LARC use can improve access and use. Don’t miss this documentary-style education that helps you improve access to LARCs and better ensure that your patients receive the best possible care. These powerful and captivating real-world patient stories capture how women are approaching decisions regarding contraception during an era in which access to reproductive health care services is changing. These stories highlight the challenges and barriers faced by women along with the myriad of factors that fuel unmet needs relative to contraception in the U.S. today. An expert provides insightful perspectives on these stories and reviews the latest data and guidance on the appropriate use of LARCs to reduce unintended pregnancy rates. |
