  • Title: Prevention of unintended pregnancy: a focus on long-acting reversible contraception.
    Author: Pickle S, Wu J, Burbank-Schmitt E.
    Journal: Prim Care; 2014 Jun; 41(2):239-60. PubMed ID: 24830607.
    Abstract:
    This article summarizes the literature regarding the epidemiology and prevention of unintended pregnancy in the United States. Because of the Affordable Care Act and its accompanying contraceptive provision, there is a need for more primary care clinicians to provide family planning services. Office-based interventions to incorporate family planning services in primary care are presented, including clinical tools and electronic health record use. Special attention is paid to long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (the subdermal implant and intrauterine devices); these highly effective and safe methods have the greatest potential to decrease the rate of unintended pregnancy, but have been underused.
