Patient Perspectives on Clinician Support When Pursuing Permanent Contraception in the <scp>United States</scp>
Most patients felt supported by their clinicians throughout permanent contraception decision-making and provision. Patients who did not feel supported reported a spectrum of experiences ranging from rushed appointments, perceived clinician bias in counseling, and communications barriers to the provision of permanent contraception after delivery. Patient-centered care that prioritizes patient experiences, values, and desires is necessary to ensure that all people can achieve their reproductive goals.
