“…To characterize the study sample, data were reported as mean with standard deviations (SD) for continuous variables and as numbers and percentages for categorical variables. We examined the following factors known to be associated with IUD usage: age, socio-economic status (education, duration of receipt of unemployment benefits, and region of residence) [5, 6, 20, 21], and the exclusive use of less effective contraceptives until free-of-charge contraception was offered [21].…”

Background To determine whether use of intrauterine device (IUD) is influenced by a history of induced abortion and the type of contraceptives used until costs are covered. Methods We analyzed data from 301 female residents in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, an economically challenged community. The women, aged between 20 and 35 years, were entitled to receive unemployment benefits, and had access to free-of-charge oral contraceptives, ring or IUD. Cross-sectional data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results There were 112 (37.2%) women with a history of induced abortion, and 46 (15.3%) reported exclusively using less effective contraceptives (e.g. condoms). In a univariate logistic regression, use of an IUD was associated with a history of having had an induced abortion. Furthermore, uptake of an IUD was associated with women who had, until costs were covered, exclusively choice to use less effective contraceptives (OR = 3.281, 95% CI: 1.717; 6.273). Both associations remained significant in a multivariate model. Conclusions Free contraceptives provided to women receiving unemployment benefits may increase the use of IUDs, especially among those with a history of an induced abortion and those using less effective contraceptives.

Inanspruchnahme kostenfreier verschreibungspflichtiger Verhütungsmittel durch Frauen

Abstract: CFOC seems to be attractive, especially for women with children and those who receive long-term unemployment benefits. Changing demands concerning the safety of birth control during the lives of women should be considered in the discussion about common rules for the access to CFOC.
