Abstract

Women's health nurses and nurse practitioners have a unique opportunity to provide high-quality primary and preventive care and play a critical role in coordinating and delivering effective contraceptive methods. The strategies and techniques that they routinely employ during counseling and education can help improve women's adoption and appropriate use of contraceptive methods.
