Review of Pharmacologic Contraceptive Options and Clinical Considerations for Use

by Shauna A. MacKenzie, 2021 PharmD Candidate, Marina L. Maes, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP

"According to the most recently available data, nearly half of all pregnancies that have occurred in the United States (U.S.) are defined as unintended.1 Unintended pregnancies include those pregnancies that are either unwanted or mistimed, and studies have found that children born from such circumstances are not only more likely to arrive prematurely, but they are also more likely to die within their first year of life.2 Additionally, children of mothers with unintended pregnancies are more likely to suffer physical abuse, cigarette smoke exposure, substance abuse, and other forms of neglect when compared to those children born from mothers with timed and expected conception.2 With higher instances of abuse and neglect, children of mothers with unintended pregnancies tend to rely more on social systems, such as welfare and social services, which can pose a societal strain and perpetuate multigenerational health disparities."
