Effects of structured contraceptive counseling in young women: Secondary analyses of a cluster randomized controlled trial (the <scp>LOWE</scp> trial)
Our study demonstrates that comprehensive structured contraceptive counseling significantly increases LARC choice, initiation and use, with high satisfaction among young participants, especially at pre-booked visits. The results highlight an approach that merits implementation to increase quality of care in contraceptive services, to enhance reproductive health for adolescents and young adults.
