简要总结
This is a randomized prospective study evaluating the impact of a brief contraceptive education intervention with optional referral for financial counseling on post abortion long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) uptake and contraceptive use at three months post abortion.
详细描述
As repeat unintended pregnancy and abortion remain public health challenges, increasing long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC), specifically intrauterine device (IUD) and contraceptive implant, use among women presenting for abortion care is a priority. Despite its efficacy and safety, LARC methods remain underutilized in the abortion setting.
This is a randomized prospective study evaluating the impact of a brief contraceptive education intervention with optional referral for financial counseling on post abortion long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) uptake and contraceptive use at three months post abortion.
