title: The quest for better contraception: future methods.
abstract: With the highest rates of unintended pregnancy and abortion in the developed world, the United States has plenty of room for improving the distribution of existing contraceptive options and an imperative for developing new methods. This article surveys new and future contraceptive methods. It does not contain a comprehensive list but focuses on methods that are close to Food and Drug Administration approval or fulfill special needs across the globe.
