The adolescent population is experiencing increasing pressure to take part in sexual activity. It is part of our role as pediatricians to counsel our patients appropriately & thoroughly through their sexual & reproductive health. Dr. Shreeti Kapoor, a general pediatrician, joins Pediatric Resident Dani Watson & MS3 Irielle Duncan to discuss contraception options & how to have those conversations with adolescent patients. Specifically, they will:
Review the efficacy, mechanism of action, potential adverse effects, and benefits of various contraceptive options, including abstinence, barrier methods, combination hormonal contraceptives, Depo Provera, and LARCs.
Discuss how to obtain relevant medical and sexual history to help in choosing an appropriate contraceptive for an adolescent patient.
Identify potential barriers or considerations that are specific for adolescent patients when discussing contraceptives.
Discuss options for emergency contraception & their mechanisms of action.
Special thanks to Drs. Rebecca Yang & Danielle Rosema for peer reviewing this episode.
