Abstract
LARCs are the most effective forms of reversible contraception currently on the market, yet uptake is still quite low among adolescents. As weight concerns are frequently considered by adolescents choosing a contraceptive method, we sought to compare BMI changes within the first two years of use in girls using non-hormonal (copper) and levonorgestrel (LNG) intrauterine devices (IUDs) as well as etonogestrel (ENG) contraceptive implants and to examine the influence of baseline BMI prior to LARC insertion on BMI changes after insertion.
