Summary
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are highly effective to prevent pregnancy when used for emergency
contraception (following unprotected intercourse in the last 3 days), but data are lacking
for people who desire an etonogestrel (ENG) contraceptive implant in this situation. This
proposal will identify the most effective way to start an implant for emergency contraception
using a randomized controlled trial comparing pregnancy risk between those receiving the
implant vs. the implant plus oral emergency contraception (EC). Data from this project will
inform clinical practice and add another option, the implant, for those desiring a long
acting, highly effective contraceptive method when they present for emergency contraception.
