There is research that supports extended use for most methods of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) available in the U.S. Studies have shown that IUDs and contraceptive implants are effective beyond their FDA-approved duration. Join Drs. Thaxton and Ti in a discussion about techniques for client-led education and counseling for potential extended use LARC.
Learning Objectives
1. Describe current research findings about the safety and efficacy of extended use LARC methods.
2. Identify key assessment and clinical management components for a client interested in using a LARC method beyond the FDA-approved duration.
3. Discuss client-led counseling and education approaches for candidates interested in the extended use option.
