Contraception Use

The general internist needs to be up to date in contraception management. Each year nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Counseling about contraceptive options, provision of a back-up method, and information about emergency contraception can decrease the risk of unintended pregnancy. This chapter focuses on the aspects of contraception emphasized in Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program (MKSAP) 14: hormonal contraception, use of barrier methods, intrauterine devices, and emergency contraception.

IntroductionOver-the-counter provision of emergency contraception pills (ECP) has increased since deregulation of progestogen-only formulations and is now the most common public health service provided by UK pharmacists. Important questions relate to women’s perceptions of their experience of receiving ECPs from pharmacists.MethodsQualitative study: in-depth interviews with young women reporting ECP use, recruited from clinic (10); pharmacy (6) and community settings (5) in London.ResultsKey advantages of pharmacy provision were ease and speed of access and convenience. Disadvantages included a less personal service, inadequate attention to information needs and to prevention of recurrence of ECP need, and unsupportive attitudes of pharmacy staff. Suggested service improvements included increasing privacy, providing more contraceptive advice, adopting a more empathetic approach and signposting follow-up services.ConclusionPharmacies are important in the choice of settings from which ECPs can be obtained and many aspects of pharmacy provision are appreciated by young women. There is scope to further enhance pharmacists’ role.
