Learning Themes: Youth Integration

Increased use of contraception and more effective contraceptive methods have resulted in a remarkable decline in the unintended pregnancy rate for young people in the United States. Efforts to expand access and allow for over-the-counter (OTC) hormonal contraception is being explored nationally. This type of access could help continue the trajectory of decreasing unintended pregnancy rates and increase agency and self management for sexual health. While there has been success in unintended pregnancy outcomes for adolescents and
young adults (AYA), there has been a simultaneous increase in sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
