Overview

Contraceptive choice is the process by which individuals and couples select a method of contraception that suits their reproductive goals, health, preferences, and circumstances. A wide range of methods exists, including hormonal options, intrauterine devices, barrier methods, and permanent procedures, each differing in effectiveness, mode of use, side effects, and reversibility. Supporting informed contraceptive choice is a core part of reproductive health care in Family Medicine, where clinicians counsel patients, address medical considerations, and help match methods to each person's needs and stage of life. Within Family Medicine, research relevant to contraceptive choice includes a post-abortion contraception model presented as a comprehensive package for improving safe abortion care in developing countries, which addresses the provision and uptake of contraception, and a study of the impact of family planning and religious belief on family growth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Together these works consider how contraceptive services are delivered and how social and personal factors shape family planning decisions. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to contraceptive choice and family planning.
