Abstract

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a well accepted contraceptive option for adult women throughout the world. There has been a recent move in the past few years towards its acceptance for use in adolescents as it provides long term, highly reliable and effective contraception, while eliminating issues with compliance. Data supports the safety of IUDs in adolescents but it continues to remain highly under-utilized. This study aims to identify the current attitudes and behaviors related to IUD use in adolescents by OB GYN residents' training in a large community hospital.
