Contraceptive-induced amenorrhea: An exploratory study of perceptions among a reproductive-age urban Southern California population

Given the perceived harm of contraceptive induced amenorrhea may limit the use of highly effective methods for all races, educational initiatives aimed at reviewing safety may allow for more informed patient decision-making.
