    Blumenthal PD, Voedisch A, Gemzell-Danielsson K. Hum Reprod Update. 2011 Jan-Feb; 17 (1): 121-37

    Despite increasing contraceptive availability, unintended pregnancy remains a global problem, representing as many as 30% of all known pregnancies. Various strategies have been proposed to reverse this disturbing trend, especially increased use of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods. In this review we aim to discuss the role of LARC methods and importance of contraceptive counseling in reducing unintended pregnancy rates.
