Adolescents’ and Young Adults’ Receipt of Person-Centered Contraceptive Counseling

In this survey study of self-identified female respondents, we found that adolescents were less likely than adults age 25 years or older to receive PCCC, but adolescents who did receive PCCC reported higher rates of preferred method use. These findings support ongoing efforts to improve the quality of contraceptive counseling for adolescents through person-centered approaches that provide comprehensive information, respect their preferences, and support their autonomy.
