This course gives a broad overview of contraceptive methods and explores issues that influence contraceptive choices today.
We will discuss the mechanism of action, effectiveness,
risk/benefit, side effects and contraindications for each contraceptive
method, as well as ask some questions about contraceptive decision
making. What are some of the factors that influence contraception use
and decision making? Are there specific cultural, ethnic, social and
environmental factors? We will also look at the relationship between
contraception use and risk of acquiring Sexually Transmitted Infections
