Opportunity, satisfaction and regret: Trying long acting reversible contraception in a unique scientific circumstance

The authors interviewed women ages 20 to 30 years and found that cost and uncertainty about whether long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is the right method for them may deter them from trying LARC. Participants more frequently reported regret from discontinuing LARC than regret from trying it. The authors suggest that LARC should be made affordable, and providers should offer it and provide counseling to continue use.
