Abstract

Long-Acting reversible contraception (LARC) is effective and acceptable. However, concern exists about potential provider bias inLARCpromotion.No study has documented contraceptive users' attitudes toward or experiences with provider influence and bias regarding LARC. We collected qualitative data in 2014 to address this gap. Participants were 50 young adult women with any history of contraceptive use (including LARC) in Dane County,Wisconsin.Women often described providers as a trusted source of contraceptive information. However, several women reported that their preferences regarding contraceptive selection or removal were not honored. Furthermore, many participants believed that providers recommend LARC disproportionately to socially marginalized women. Weencourage contraceptive counseling and removal protocols that directly address historical reproductive injustices and that honor patients' wishes.
