DMPA and implants have played an important role in the attempt to prevent teenage pregnancies. Adolescent health care providers should provide continued counseling to girls using DMPA or implants and should promptly address any concern associated with these methods. Future studies are warranted to explore ways to prevent or reduce the side effects of DMPA and implants, as well as to develop new, optimal, long-acting contraceptives. Detailed baseline information should be obtained in every future study that explores the presence of side effects during the use of long-acting contraceptives.
醋酸甲羟孕酮（DMPA）和皮下埋植剂在预防青少年怀孕的努力中发挥了重要作用。青少年保健提供者应为使用DMPA或皮下埋植剂的女孩持续提供咨询，并应及时处理与这些方法相关的任何问题。有必要开展进一步研究，以探索预防或减少DMPA和皮下埋植剂副作用的方法，以及开发新的、最佳的长效避孕药具。在今后每项探索长效避孕药具使用期间副作用情况的研究中，都应获取详细的基线信息。
