Acceptability of immediate postpartum and post ‐abortion long‐acting reversible contraception provision to adolescents: A systematic review

ConclusionsImmediate insertion of LARC postpartum appears acceptable to adolescents who do not experience side ‐effects and those with the opportunity to make autonomous contraception decisions. This important topic has been addressed in few studies involving an entirely adolescent population. Very limited evidence is available on IPA LARC. Further research on adolescents’ lived experiences of IPP/IPA LA RC access and use is necessary to inform the provision of person‐centred care when assisting adolescents’ contraceptive choice following pregnancy.
