Abstract

Disparity in access to family planning and contraceptive services remains disproportional within underserved communities. The United States ranks highest among developed countries for rates of adolescent unplanned pregnancies. This coupled with legal implications including confidentiality further contribute to a lack of access to medically appropriate, safe, and reversible contraceptive options. The nurse practitioner is a key partner in the implementation of the evidence-based recommendations by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics. This article reviews medical options for the management of adolescent contraception.
