Objective: To compare Oregon school-based health centers (SBHCs) with community health centers (CHCs) as sources of adolescent contraceptive services.
Data Sources: Oregon electronic health record data, 2012-2016.
Study Design: We compared clinic-level counseling rates and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) provision, adolescent populations served, and visit-level LARC provision time trends.

We examine trends over time, by race/ethnicity, and by Title X clinic status and test whether these factors are associated with provision of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC; intrauterine devices/IUDs and implants).
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 33 SBHCs participating in a shared electronic health record 2012-2016.
Objective/study Question: To examine changes in uninsurance rates among U.S. adolescents ages 12-17 and assess whether trends over time differed by citizenship status, Latino ethnicity, and household language.
