Long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are safe and effective for adolescents, but low rates of use among this population and early discontinuation due to method dissatisfaction limits their potential to reduce unintended pregnancy. Reducing barriers for obtaining LARCs by adolescents who want to use them is key in reducing risk of unintended pregnancy. Data will be collected from patients who are receiving same-day LARC as a part of their normal care via telehealth services in school-based health centers (SBHCs). This implementation model, therefore, has the potential for replication and scale-up with wide reach. The findings from this study, given the SBHC setting, have the potential to inform and improve LARC service delivery for adolescents far beyond New York City and the SBHC setting.
