Contraception 4.0.1

The U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use provides guidance on the use of specific contraceptive methods for individuals with particular characteristics or medical conditions. Complementing this, the U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use addresses key topics related to the initiation and utilization of these methods, tackling common but sometimes contentious or intricate issues. Derived directly from the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) by the Division of Reproductive Health, this app encompasses over 60 characteristics or medical conditions (U.S. MEC) and various clinical scenarios (U.S. SPR). The primary aim of these recommendations is to aid healthcare professionals in advising women, men, and couples on making informed choices regarding contraceptive options. However, it is important for healthcare providers to always take into account the unique clinical circumstances of each individual seeking family planning services.
