Abstract
We sought to determine the impact of brief previsit counseling on long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) interest and uptake immediately after abortion. We conducted a randomized controlled trial at a free-standing abortion care ambulatory surgery center in metro-Atlanta, Georgia (2017-2018). Among 1270 women, a brief previsit counseling intervention increased interest in LARC by 4.5 percentage points, and interest in LARC after the intervention increased uptake by 9.6 percentage points. Providing brief previsit counseling significantly increased postabortion LARC uptake. (<i>Am J Public Health</i>. 2022;112(9):1257-1260. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306940).
