Public Funding for Contraception, Provider Training, and Use of Highly Effective Contraceptives: A Cluster Randomized Trial
Objectives. We determined whether public funding for contraception was associated with long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) use when providers received training on these methods. Methods. We evaluated the impact of a clinic training intervention and public funding on LARC use in a cluster randomized trial at 40 randomly assigned clinics across the United States (2011–2013). Twenty intervention clinics received a 4-hour training. Women aged…
Association of Access to Publicly Funded Family Planning Services With Adolescent Birthrates in California Counties
Objectives. We examined the association of adolescent birthrates (ABRs) with access to and receipt of publicly funded family planning services in California counties provided through 2 state programs: Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, and the Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (Family PACT) program. Methods. Our key data sources included the California Health Interview Survey and California Women’s Health Survey, Medi-Cal and Fam…
Cost-Savings from the Provision of Specific Contraceptive Methods in 2009
Sometimes they used to whisper in our ears”: Health care workers’ perceptions of the effects of abortion legalization in Nepal
Providers were generally positive about the implications of abortion legalization for the country and for women. A focus on family planning and post-abortion counselling may be welcomed by providers concerned about multiple abortions. Some of the negative judgments of women held by providers could be tempered through values-clarification training, so that women are supported and comfortable sharing their abortion history, improving the quality of…
Contraceptive Features Preferred by Women At High Risk of Unintended Pregnancy
The contraceptive features women want are largely absent from currently available methods. Developing and promoting methods that are more aligned with women's preferences presumably could help increase satisfaction and thereby encourage consistent and effective use

Sex-Selective Abortion in Nepal: A Qualitative Study of Health Workers' Perspectives
Race, Ethnicity and Differences in Contraception Among Low‐Income Women: Methods Received By Family Pact Clients, California, 2001–2007
Although Family PACT eliminates financial barriers to method choice, the methods women received differed substantially by race and ethnicity in this low-income population. The reduction in racial and ethnic disparities following introduction of the patch suggests that methods with novel characteristics may increase acceptability of contraceptives among minority women
Should Providers Give Women Advance Provision of Emergency Contraceptive Pills? A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
Obstacles to the Integration of Abortion Into Obstetrics and Gynecology Practice
The stigma and ideological contention surrounding abortion manifest themselves in professional environments as barriers to the integration of abortion into medical practice. New physicians often lack the professional support and autonomy necessary to offer abortion services
Cost Savings From the Provision of Specific Methods of Contraception in a Publicly Funded Program
Objectives. We examined the cost-effectiveness of contraceptive methods dispensed in 2003 to 955 000 women in Family PACT (Planning, Access, Care and Treatment), California's publicly funded family planning program. Methods. We estimated the number of pregnancies averted by each contraceptive method and compared the cost of providing each method with the savings from averted pregnancies. Results. More than half of the 178 000 averted pregnancies …
Adolescent Clinic Visits for Contraception: Support from Mothers, Male Partners and Friends
Pregnancy prevention programs and counseling protocols that integrate supportive networks for teenagers into contraceptive services may help adolescents to use effective methods
Abortion: Teaching Why as Well as How
For both of us abortion has been a priority throughout our careers. It has been and is a positive and fulfilling professional and personal focus. Normally a simple medical task does not matter so much but this one does. The experience of women seeking abortion is so burdened by intimidation and shame that it takes a serious dose of kindness respect and support to overcome the harmful effects of the political and social context in which we all liv…

Acceptance and Perceptions of NORPLANT Among Users in San Francisco, USA
Two hundred and five women participating in a five-year clinical trial of NORPLANT and NORPLANT-2 were interviewed about their contraceptive and reproductive history, sources of information and knowledge of NORPLANT, experiences using the method, and the impressions of friends and family about the method. The most common reasons for trying the implants were dissatisfaction with other methods and perceptions about NORPLANT's ease of use. Forty-one…
Sero survey of human immunodeficiency virus infection in women at a family planning clinic: Absence of infection in an indigent population in San Francisco
To determine the seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in contracepting women, 1,308 consecutive attendees at an inner-city family planning clinic completed a risk factor questionnaire and were then asked to have an HIV test. None of the 1,000 women tested was seropositive. Preventive efforts in family planning clinics are likely to be productive because few contraceptors, including those with risk factors, are already infected. Th…
Fertility Decline and Participation in Georgia's Family Planning Program: Temporal and Areal Association
3 different analytic techniques are used to demonstrate a causal relationship between a Georgia statewide public family planning program and a subsequent decline in fertility. The Georgia family planning program developed rapid growth since 1967. By January 1973 42% of the states black women in the 15-44 age group had accepted contraception from a public family planning center; only 7.7% of white women in the same age groups had accepted. The pro…
