Description:Objective:
To describe unmet desire for long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) after the Zika Contraception Access Network (Z-CAN) in Puerto Rico during the 2016–2017 Zika outbreak.
Study design:
Z-CAN patients completed web-based surveys about contraception experiences over a three-year period.
Results:
Of 1,809 survey respondents, 3% never used LARC, but reported wanting it since their initial visit. As reasons for not getting LARC, nearly 50% indicated a provider-related reason and 25% reported cost.
Conclusions:
Few Z-CAN patients who never used LARC had unmet LARC desire. Provider training in contraception guidelines and strategies to address costs can expand access to the full range of reversible contraception.
