Evaluation of an Intervention to Increase Post-abortion LARC Uptake: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Educational and Financial Counseling Prior to Clinical Presentation.
This is a randomized prospective study evaluating the impact of a brief contraceptive education intervention with optional referral for financial counseling on post abortion long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) uptake and contraceptive use at three months post abortion.

Despite its efficacy and safety, LARC methods remain underutilized in the abortion setting.
