Introduction: Concerns about safety and side effects from contraceptives are widespread and related to reluctance to use them. Measuring these concerns is an essential component of understanding contraceptive decision-making and guiding contraceptive and interpregnancy clinical care.
Methods: We used qualitative research and item response theory to develop and test a psychometric instrument to measure contraceptive concerns and beliefs.

Objectives: In 2000, the United States' Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved mifepristone for medication abortion. In this article, we explore how the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) criteria for mifepristone specifically impede family physicians' ability to provide medication abortion in primary care settings.
Study Design: We conducted 56 qualitative interviews with a national sample of family physicians across the US who were not opposed to abortion.

Untethered miniature robots have significant poten-tial and promise in diverse minimally invasive medical applications inside the human body. For drug delivery and physical contra-ception applications inside tubular structures, it is desirable to have a miniature anchoring robot with self-locking mechanism at a target tubular region. Moreover, the behavior of this robot should be tracked and feedback-controlled by a medical imaging-based system.
