Improving capacity at school-based health centers to offer adolescents counseling and access to comprehensive contraceptive services 2020-07-28 .txt text/plain 4181 220 45 Offering contraceptive counseling and services on school campuses could be helpful for adolescents who wish to prevent pregnancy and/or STIs. Notably, a majority of adolescents and young adults report that they trust a clinician or a health care provider for birth control information. The intervention addressed adolescents' access to the full range of contraceptive methods, helping overcome barriers on the provider side, including a lack of training in counseling and provision of IUDs and implants. Our study assessed the effect of an evidence-based provider training on contraceptive counseling and access to the full range of contraceptive services including IUDs and implants on providers' knowledge, skills, counseling and provision practices ( Figure 1 ). This evaluation identified significant improvements among providers at SBHCs in knowledge, counseling skills and provision practices, with increased capacity to offer adolescents interested in IUDs or the implant with these methods. ./cache/cord-312232-ktlrc5gx.txt ./txt/cord-312232-ktlrc5gx.txt
