Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...

Summary

Few obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs) in Rhode Island offer single-visit intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. This limits patient access to convenient IUD placement, with scheduling and insurance posing significant barriers.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Health
Gynecology
Public Health

Background:

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are highly effective, long-acting reversible contraceptives.
Single-visit IUD insertion can improve access and patient satisfaction.
Current protocols for single-visit IUD insertion among OB/GYNs are not well-documented in Rhode Island.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) protocols for single-visit intrauterine device (IUD) insertion in Rhode Island.
To identify barriers to the implementation of single-visit IUD insertion protocols.

Main Methods:

An online cross-sectional survey was distributed to OB/GYNs in Rhode Island.
The survey assessed current practices and protocols regarding IUD insertion.
The primary outcome measured was the proportion of OB/GYNs providing single-visit IUDs.

Main Results:

The response rate was 70% (80/114 OB/GYNs).
Only 42% of OB/GYNs reported willingness to provide a single-visit IUD, and only 22% reported this is typical in their practice.
Barriers included scheduling constraints and insurance/billing issues. Bias was noted, with more OB/GYNs willing to offer IUDs to Black patients than White patients.

Conclusions:

Access to single-visit IUD insertion by OB/GYNs in Rhode Island is limited.
Systemic barriers and potential implicit bias hinder widespread adoption of single-visit IUD protocols.
Further research and interventions are needed to improve access to convenient IUD services.
