Telemedicine Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic in 8 Countries From the International Sexual Health and Reproductive Health Consortium: Web-Based Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Telemedicine Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic in 8 Countries From the International Sexual Health and Reproductive Health Consortium: Web-Based Cross-Sectional Survey Study

During the pandemic, telemedicine was also recommended to be used for contraception counseling, shared decision-making, and managing potential side effects [7]. It was also used as a means of accessing abortion-related services during the pandemic [8]. Country-specific studies demonstrate that telemedicine was successfully implemented to provide SRH services during the pandemic, and it was a convenient and comfortable approach, especially for young people [9,10].

Simulation of Contraceptive Access for Adolescents and Young Adults Using a Pharmacist-Staffed e-Platform: Development, Usability, and Pilot Testing Study

Simulation of Contraceptive Access for Adolescents and Young Adults Using a Pharmacist-Staffed e-Platform: Development, Usability, and Pilot Testing Study

Pharmacist-prescribed contraception—a strategy already used in high-income and many low- and middle-income countries but rarely in the United States—is one such strategy. In 2019, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended pharmacist-prescribed contraception without age restrictions as a necessary step to increase over-the-counter access to hormonal contraception and reduce the rate of inconsistent or nonuse of contraception [8].

Changes in Reproductive Health Information-Seeking Behaviors After the Dobbs Decision: Systematic Search of the Wikimedia Database

Changes in Reproductive Health Information-Seeking Behaviors After the Dobbs Decision: Systematic Search of the Wikimedia Database

These studies revealed that Google searches for abortion, contraception, and reproductive health-related topics reached record levels after the Dobbs decision was leaked, especially in states with restrictive abortion policies. Importantly, the increased demand for reproductive health information is complicated by the overwhelming amount of abortion misinformation on the internet.

Feasibility of Sexual Health and Contraceptive Web Services for Adolescents and Young Adults: Retrospective Study of a Pilot Program on Reunion Island

Feasibility of Sexual Health and Contraceptive Web Services for Adolescents and Young Adults: Retrospective Study of a Pilot Program on Reunion Island

Moreover, data from the regional health observatory in 2019 reported that only half of sexually active AYAs aged 15 to 17 years used contraception during their first sexual encounter [7]. For young women aged 15 to 25 years who had already had their first sexual intercourse, a survey reported that 56% used a contraceptive method other than condoms and that a lack of knowledge and negative perceptions of contraception, along with the family taboo surrounding sexuality, contributed to it [7].

Integrating Sexual and Reproductive Health Equity Into Public Health Goals and Metrics: Comparative Analysis of Healthy People 2030’s Approach and a Person-Centered Approach to Contraceptive Access Using Population-Based Data

Integrating Sexual and Reproductive Health Equity Into Public Health Goals and Metrics: Comparative Analysis of Healthy People 2030’s Approach and a Person-Centered Approach to Contraceptive Access Using Population-Based Data

This paper focuses on 2 key population-level metrics of contraceptive access: a conventional metric reflecting use of effective contraception, which is prioritized in the HP2030 contraception-related objectives, and a person-centered metric, reflecting use of preferred method of contraception [53].

Contraceptive Use Measured in a National Population–Based Approach: Cross-Sectional Study of Administrative Versus Survey Data

Contraceptive Use Measured in a National Population–Based Approach: Cross-Sectional Study of Administrative Versus Survey Data

Prescribed contraception is used worldwide by more than 400 million women of reproductive age [1]. It must be monitored closely to implement public health policy or decisions and ensure rapid response to societal, media, and medical events. For example, after the media scare regarding increased cardiovascular risks for women using third- or fourth-generation pills, a large number of women abruptly stopped using these pills [2-5].

Evaluating the Acceptability and Feasibility of a Sexual Health–Focused Contraceptive Decision Aid for Diverse Young Adults: User-Centered Usability Study

Evaluating the Acceptability and Feasibility of a Sexual Health–Focused Contraceptive Decision Aid for Diverse Young Adults: User-Centered Usability Study

We assembled an advisory panel made up of 5 clinicians from the Society of Family Planning (a multidisciplinary research community of those engaged in the science and medicine of abortion and contraception) and 2 patients to engage in our needs assessment, informing the development process of the decision aid. All panelists participated in semistructured interviews about their experiences conducting or participating in contraceptive counseling.

Enhancing the Introduction and Scale Up of Self-Administered Injectable Contraception (DMPA-SC) in Health Systems (the EASIER Project): Protocol for Embedded Implementation Research

Unintended pregnancy, resulting from the unmet need for contraception, threatens the lives and well-being of girls and women globally. An estimated 214 million women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have an unmet need for a modern method of contraception, and over half of these women live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Web-Based Survey Piloting Process as a Model for Developing and Testing Past Contraceptive Use and Pregnancy History: Cystic Fibrosis Case Study

There are theoretical concerns that hormonal contraception may adversely impact these complications. A nationwide observational trial entitled Contraceptive Assessment of Safety and Effectiveness in CF (CASE.4.CF) for patients with CF was initiated through the University of Washington in 2020.
