Abstract
Our objective was to evaluate changes in the prevalence of emergency contraception counseling and use after policy changes in the United States between 2011 and 2019. This was a serial cross-sectional study using the National Survey of Family Growth data set from two survey windows: 2011-2013 (4,177 women) and 2017-2019 (4,477 women). The incidence of emergency contraception counseling in the prior year did not differ between the 2011-2013 and 2017-2019 survey windows (3.3% vs 2.5%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.73, 95% CI 0.51-1.05). There was a significant increase in ever use of emergency contraception between the 2011-2013 and 2017-2019 survey windows (19.0% vs 26.1%; aOR 1.44, 95% CI 1.22-1.72). This suggests that changes facilitating access to care may have a larger effect on emergency contraception access and uptake than health care professional counseling.
