Overview:
In the United States, approximately 45 percent of pregnancies are unintended, and since most contraceptive methods require consultation with a healthcare provider, it’s important to include the patient in the decision-making process that surrounds the management and optimization of her health status.

To help improve that process, this article identifies best practices in contraceptive counseling as well as the benefits of shared decision-making.

Learning Objectives:
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
• Identify strategies for best practices in contraceptive counseling.
• Describe the benefits of utilizing patient-centered care/shared decision making in the contraceptive counseling process.
• Translate the scientific data on long-acting contraception methods into real-world patient care.
