MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2015;64:1–7

However, the use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods by teens remains low, despite their effectiveness, safety, and ease of use. Analysis of 2005–2013 data found that the percentage of teens who used LARC varied widely by state, from 0.7% to 25.8%. |
