Googling long-acting reversible contraception: A scoping review examining the information available online about intrauterine devices and contraceptive implants

CONCLUSIONS: Most webpages provided medically accurate information to consumers; however, many did not include key information such as cost or how they work. Descriptions of side effects varied between webpages, and this may inhibit informed decision-making. SO WHAT?: Most people make decisions about what contraceptive method they might like to use before visiting a health care provider, and most will get this information from the internet. Providing comprehensive, medically accurate and consistent information about both IUDs and contraceptive implants is vital to support informed decision-making.PMID:37700511 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.806
