What do women need to know about long-acting reversible contraception? Perspectives of women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Aim: To identify components of an online education intervention to improve preference for, and uptake of, long-acting reversible contraception in women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD).

Issue Addressed: Women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds have greater rates of unintended pregnancies than those born locally and are less likely to use long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), which are highly effective at reducing unintended pregnancy. Increasing the uptake of LARC in women from CALD backgrounds may reduce the burden of unintended pregnancy in this high-risk group.

Long-term trends of Chlamydia trachomatis in a clinic population at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) prevalence has been reported to be increasing. Whether this is a true increase over time or confounded by increases in testing and/or use of more sensitive assays is to be determined.

Using Mobile Technology to Improve Bone-Related Lifestyle Risk Factors in Young Women With Low Bone Mineral Density: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Poor bone health in adolescent and young adult females is a growing concern. Given the widespread use of mobile phones in this population, mobile health (mHealth) interventions may help improve health behaviors related to bone health in young women.

Objective: The goal of the study was to determine the acceptability and feasibility of an mHealth intervention called Tap4Bone in improving health behaviors associated with the risk of osteoporosis in young women.
