title: What Is New in Long-Acting Reversible Contraception?: Best Articles From the Past Year.
abstract: This month we focus on current research in contraception and women choosing long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). Long-acting reversible contraception improves the health of women and their families. Dr. Stuart discusses four recent publications, which are concluded with a "bottom line" that is the take-home message. The articles highlighted can be used to support actions practitioners can take to increase provision of LARC to their patients. The complete reference for each can be found in on this page, along with direct links to the abstracts.
