Summary

Most family planning agencies do not offer same-day insertion for long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), despite guidelines. This creates barriers for women seeking convenient, long-term birth control methods.

Background:

Limited understanding exists regarding clinician attitudes towards same-day long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) insertions.
The practical application of recommendations for same-day LARC provision remains largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate clinician attitudes and practices concerning same-day LARC insertions.
To identify barriers to the implementation of LARC guidelines in family planning agencies.

Main Methods:

47 family planning agencies in Colorado and Iowa participated in initiatives to increase LARC provision.
Clinic directors (n=45) and clinicians (n=114) were interviewed and surveyed about LARC practices and attitudes.

Main Results:

Fewer visits were required for contraceptive implant insertion compared to intrauterine devices (IUDs).
Only 18% of agencies typically offered IUDs, and 36% offered implants in a single visit.
Clinician experience and professional title influenced attitudes regarding the number of visits needed for LARC.

Conclusions:

Barriers hinder the full implementation of LARC guidelines.
Addressing these barriers is crucial for enabling women to access their chosen LARC methods without multiple visits.
