Details
Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) are considered first line methods as they are highly effective and acceptable. Australia and Aotearoa o not have rates of use comparable to other developed nations. This session aims to explore barriers and enablers to LARCs, community attitudes to LARCs particularly in marginalised groups, as well as some practical advice regarding more difficult insertion and removal of Intra-Uterine Devices (IUDs) and Contraceptive Implants. Learning objectives: 1) Gain an understanding of the long term economic benefits of LARCs in the community
2) Develop increased awareness of barriers and enablers to LARC use and how to improve access
3) Gain some practical knowledge around difficult IUD and contraceptive implant insertions and removals
4) Develop an understanding around Maori perceptions of contraceptive use
5) Increase awareness of barriers and enablers to use in homeless and marginalised groups, and how to manage issues in these populations
