Description
The Bixby Center will produce a video that addresses the particular concerns of young women about pregnancy prevention and the use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARCs), primarily using the voices and language of their peers. Videos will include:
- basic facts on the risk of pregnancy, emphasizing the high chance of pregnancy among this age group.
- LARC methods, showing how much more effective they are than other contraceptive methods and how simple they are to use.
- concerns about LARC side effects with accurate information and a sense of humor.
