TL;DR
It is suggested that depot medroxyprogesterone acetate does not function as a long-term method for most inner-city adolescents, and was more likely if age at first intercourse was younger than 13 years (P = .04).
Abstract
In this study, just less than one third of the adolescents continued depot medroxyprogesterone acetate use for 1 year or longer. This suggests that depot medroxyprogesterone acetate does not function as a long-term method for most inner-city adolescents. The only characteristic that was associated with successful continuation of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate use was young age at first intercourse, implying that experience may be the main determinant of continuation.

Rates of unintended pregnancy have declined, probably as a result of higher contraceptive prevalence and use of more effective methods, and efforts to achieve further decreases should focus on reducing risky behavior, promoting the use of effective contraceptive methods and improving the effectiveness with which all methods are used.

The level of unintended pregnancy appears to have increased during the last decade after consistent decreases since the early 1960s, and decreasing both the periods of contraceptive nonuse and contraceptive misuse will help lower the rate of unintendedregnancy.
