Abstract

Objective: Compare long-acting contraceptive (LARC) utilization 1 month following a medical abortion among women who chose office or telephone follow-up. Materials and Methods: We performed a chart review of 79 patients in a new medical abortion service. Women chose a 1-week follow-up in-office or by phone. Contraceptive implants could be placed 1 week and intrauterine contraceptives 4 weeks after mifepristone administration. Results: LARC methods were desired by 38% and 44% of women, and received by 27% and 29% of women in the office and phone follow-up groups, respectively (p=.8). Conclusion: The choice of follow-up in-office or by phone did not change the LARC uptake rate. Implications: Women should not be discouraged to follow up by phone due to concern for decreased LARC uptake.
