Meeting people's pregnancy prevention needs: Let's not force people to state an "Intention".

Dehlendorf C, Perry JC, Borrero S, Callegari L, Fuentes L, Perritt J. Meeting people's pregnancy prevention needs: Let's not force people to state an "Intention". Contraception. 2024 Feb 17; 110400.



Abstract:

Pregnancy intention screening does not identify need for pregnancy prevention and ignores the nuances of lived experiences while reinforcing white middle-class normative expectations. Asking about desire for contraception is a patient-centered approach to meeting people's needs.
