Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore characteristics of parents who prefer an intrauterine device (IUD) or implant compared to all other contraceptive methods. Study designParents with an adolescent daughter completed a cross-sectional survey. The outcome evaluated the parent’s perceived “best” contraceptive method for their daughter using bivariate statistics and multivariable modeling. ResultsOf 115 parents, parental willingness to use IUD or implant themselves (p = 0.014) and thinking IUD or implant is best at preventing pregnancy (p = 0.001) remained positively associated with parents thinking IUD or implant is the “best” contraceptive method for their daughter. ConclusionsClinicians can consider integrating parents’ personal experiences with IUD or implant during adolescent contraception counseling. ImplicationsCaregivers’ personal contraceptive knowledge and personal willingness to use LARC influences their preferences for their daughter’s contraception. Clinicians can assess and integrate caregivers’ perspectives during adolescent contraception counseling.
