Training contraceptive providers to offer intrauterine devices and implants in contraceptive care: a cluster randomized trial

Abstract: Professional guidelines encourage intrauterine device and implant competency for all contraceptive care providers. Integrating these methods into routine care is important for access. This replicable training intervention translating evidence into care had a sustained impact on provider attitudes, knowledge, and counseling practices, demonstrating significant changes in clinical care a full year after the training intervention.

“…In addition, past increases in both IUD and implant use between 2008 and 2014 were documented across almost all reproductive-age women (7), whereas increases in both of these methods between 2014 and 2016 were concentrated among particular population groups. Use of an IUD increased between these time periods among those who fell into more (27,28), and evidence indicating that adolescents prefer implants over IUDs among LARC choices (29,30), it may be that these latest data represent the first time point at which the impact of these many intersecting factors can be detected at the national level for the youngest age group. Although receiving family planning care at a Title X site, a federally funded family planning program established explicitly to provide funding for contraceptive service delivery to young and low-income people, was not significantly associated with implant use in our analysis, a recent analysis of Family Planning Annual Report Data from the Office of Population Affairs (31) suggests that the Title X program may be playing a role in facilitating access to implant use among Title X patients.…”

“…We are also limited by the inability to determine the percentage of Medicaid-insured patients in our study that solely qualified due to pregnancy status. Finally, LARC-method specific analyses are limited given the low numbers of implants requested and received and as 17% of our providers are not certified to place implants [20]. …”

“…These findings underscore the importance of resident training in contraception, including LARC provision, which is associated with subsequent provision of these services in practice. 17,18 While approximately half of the study participants in this study completed fellowship training in obstetrics or family planning, this additional training is neither necessary to provide contraception nor practical for the vast majority of clinicians. One possible strategy to train PCPs who have already completed residency is the expansion of regional centers that provide high volume procedural training over a short amount of time, and have been associated with significant improvements in physician knowledge and comfort with contraceptive counseling, although less robust results in increasing LARC provision.…”
