Monday, January 25, 2016 12:00 - 1:00 PM (PST)
LIVE WEBINAR
Presenter:
Anita Nelson, MD, Medical Director, California Family Health Council Research Center; Chief of Women's Health Care Education Programs, Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA
Overview:
Contraceptive method choice is affected by a variety of factors. Women may have concerns about contraceptive safety that may be fueled by the media, myths that are shared anecdotally or advertisements seeking to recruit plaintiffs in legal cases. This session will explore how to utilize and implement a client-centered approach when discussing contraceptive safety and risk - both real and perceived - during a patient visit. Participants will learn how to differentiate between side effects and health risks that are attributable to contraceptive methods and compare contraceptive risks to those that may occur in daily life.

- Describe women's concerns over time about the safety and side effects of different methods of contraception
