    The cervical cap is a nonhormonal contraceptive. Custom-fitting and increased provider knowledge could improve its effectiveness, making it a viable alternative to other birth control methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Contraception
    • Women's Health

    Background:

    • The cervical cap is a convenient, inexpensive, nonhormonal, and non-invasive contraceptive method.
    • Current effectiveness could be improved through custom-fitting of the caps.
    • Increased healthcare provider knowledge may enhance awareness of the cervical cap as an alternative contraceptive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential for improved effectiveness of the cervical cap through custom-fitting.
    • To explore the role of healthcare provider education in promoting cervical cap use.
    • To identify research needs regarding accurate cervical cap fitting and effectiveness rates.

    Main Methods:

    • The study highlights the need for research into optimal cervical cap fitting techniques.
