Young women with ADHD should be counseled on risks with hormonal contraceptives and potential benefits of long-acting reversible contraception, the study authors said.

More than 50 stakeholders attended the three-day virtual meeting.

Statements can assist pediatricians in understanding and supporting the use of barrier methods by their patients and address obstacles to use.

Despite the well-established benefits of long-acting reversible contraception methods, only 2% to 3% of teens use them.

Pediatricians can deliver services during routine, follow-up, acute care and immunization visits.

Access to all forms of contraception remains critical to ensure youths can navigate the developmentally expected transition to sexual activity while achieving their reproductive and life goals.

Emergency contraception helps reduce the risk of pregnancy after sexual intercourse and is safe for youths.

Factors associated with young women discontinuing use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) before 30 months included lower motivation to prevent pregnancy, being married, giving birth before LARC use and non-white race.

Adolescents were more likely to receive contraception and STI screening if they were enrolled in a patient-centered medical home.
