Abstract
In an urban hospital based clinic, the OCP continuation rate after the initial visit was poor. Continuation of OCPs may be anticipated by type of services sought at an initial visit. Methods to improve OCP continuation in this setting should be implemented.

This report provides an update of the authors' previous estimates of first-year probabilities of contraceptive failure for all methods of contraception and provides a more complete explanation of how the previous estimate of the probability of becoming pregnant while relying solely on chance should be interpreted.

176 Citations1987S. Jean Emans
Compliance with oral contraceptive use among sexually active adolescents in three different settings was associated with older age, suburban residence, white race, health care in the suburban private practice, and prior use of contraception.

157 Citations1994Margaret Polaneczky, Gail B. Slap +3 more
Postpartum adolescents who chose a contraceptive method at an urban teaching hospital between September 1991 and July 1992 chose Norplant, and the factors significantly associated with the choice of Norplant were older age, multiparity, and previous use of oral contraceptives.

128 Citations1994Barbara A. Cromer, R.D. Smith +3 more
Adolescent patients choosing Depo-Provera may expect amenorrhea by the end of 6 months of therapy along with possible fatigue and early intervention may be needed with adolescents who choose Norplant or OCP to encourage better compliance with follow-up appointments.

Assessment of a sample of adolescent oral contraceptive users for correlates of continued use of birth control finds adolescents who perceived substantial health-related problems associated with oral contraceptive use, felt their own risk of pregnancy was less than that of other teenagers, and had poor problem-solving skills were least likely to continue to use the pill.

Much of the discontinuation appears to have occurred in the first three months after the initial visit to a family planning clinic, and the investigators constructed three alternative measures of contraceptive continuation.
Advances in ContraceptionOral contraception noncompliance: The extent of the problem
66 Citations1992Paula J. Adams Hillard
Certain populations, including adolescents, individuals on drugs that carry high risk for fetal anomalies, and patients with underlying medical problems, are target populations for an emphasis on method compliance because OC noncompliance contributes to the number of unintended pregnancies and abortions.

56 Citations1995Abbey B. Berenson, Constance M. Wiemann
It is concluded that Norplant is a reasonable alternative for adolescents, especially when compliance is an issue, and may cause more side effects than oral contraceptives in the early months after initiation but provide superior protection against unintended pregnancy.

55 Citations1996Peter J. Moore
Female adolescents' beliefs about the contraceptive pill predicted their initial intentions to use the pill and their actual pill use over the course of a year, and abortion appears to be a backup to pill use rather than a substitute.
