Background: This study aims to determine if women presenting for emergency contraception (EC) at family planning clinics may be interested in using the copper intrauterine device (IUD) for EC.
Study Design: This convenience sample survey was offered to women who presented for EC at four participating clinics in urban Utah. Anonymous written questionnaires were distributed.
Background: This study evaluates the willingness of women presenting for emergency contraception (EC) to enroll in a study offering the copper intrauterine device (IUD) or oral levonorgestrel (LNG) and follows up the two groups for 6 months after EC administration to compare use of an effective method of contraception.
Study Design: This prospective observational study offered these two methods to women presenting for EC. The primary outcome was use of an effective method of contraception 6 months after presenting for EC.
Background: There is limited information about the number of intrauterine device (IUD) users requiring operative intervention for device-related complications. This is an evaluation of cases requiring in-hospital operative intervention for IUD perforations, removals and pregnancy-related complications.
Study Design: Large retrospective case series of patients who received operative management of IUD complications.
