Barriers and Facilitators to Expanding User-Administered Injectable Contraceptives in the United States

Our data among experts in contraceptive care highlight that awareness is associated by professional- and institutional-level factors and barriers between awareness of subcutaneous DMPA for user administration and provision that are primarily institutional and systemic. Facilitators for awareness and provision of subcutaneous DMPA for self-administration span multiple domains, including professional's perceived patient barriers, professional demographics, institutional challenges, and government policies.

Abstract

Our data among experts in contraceptive care highlight that awareness is associated by professional- and institutional-level factors and barriers between awareness of subcutaneous DMPA for user administration and provision that are primarily institutional and systemic. Facilitators for awareness and provision of subcutaneous DMPA for self-administration span multiple domains, including professional's perceived patient barriers, professional demographics, institutional challenges, and government policies.
