Question

Most women will need to use contraception for more than 30 years. Patterns of contraceptive use vary with age, ethnicity, marital status, fertility intention, education and lifestyle. Large prospective cohort studies are needed to identify:

  • patterns of use (initiation, continuation and switching between methods) of LARC methods compared with non‑LARC methods

  • factors that influence the patterns of use of LARC.
