In the past students requesting contraceptives from SBCs [school-based clinics] had been given vouchers to pick up the contraceptives at community clinics at no cost. Because many vouchers went unfilled a new policy involving direct on-site distribution of contraceptives was instituted in May 1998. (Appointments were necessary for requesting contraceptives.) In the present study we sought to evaluate the effects of the change in distribution systems on students’ receipt of requested contraceptives and demand for contraceptives from SBCs. (excerpt)
