Although the fraction of family physicians (FPs) providing Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) services increased between 2014 and 2017, the most recent estimates show that less than a quarter of family physicians include provision of LARC in their practice. Increasing the number of FPs providing LARC will help increase patients' access to the most effective forms of birth control currently available.
尽管提供长效可逆避孕(LARC)服务的家庭医生(FPs)比例在 2014 年至 2017 年间有所增加,但最新估计显示,只有不到四分之一的家庭医生在其诊所提供 LARC。增加提供 LARC 的 FPs 的数量将有助于增加患者获得目前可用的最有效的避孕方法的机会。
