A Successful Multimodal Initiative to Increase Access to Long-Acting Reversible Contraception Among AdolescentsSharisse Arnold-Rehring, MD, FAAP; Jennifer Seidel, MD https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/18-071-26From Colorado Background: The US has the highest teen pregnancy rate of developed nations. These primarily unintended births suffer high rates of poor maternal and infant health outcomes. When financial, educational, and access barriers to contraception are removed, adolescents overwhelmingly choose long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), the most effective, safest, and most cost-efficient option. The Kaiser Permanente (KP) Colorado (KPCO) initiative was uniquely designed to address educational and logistical barriers within the KP integrated health system, using existing infrastructure and focusing on training frontline pediatric providers, resulting in wider use of LARC among adolescents. |
