The importance of contraception across the lifecourse Alison Hadley, Director, Teenage Pregnancy Knowledge Exchange, University of Bedfordshire

Back to basics!  The importance of contraception  Improving knowledge of contraception – a pre-requisite of choice and effective use

What’s more important to women’s health? Having a baby is least frequent motivator to have sex! On average, a heterosexual woman in the UK will spend 30 years needing to prevent an unplanned pregnancy Increasing evidence that unplanned pregnancies have poorer pregnancy outcomes. NATSAL estimates 1:5 pregnancies are unplanned – with prevalence highest for nullips and women with 2+ children Contraception – and safe abortion – a key public health contribution to women’s health and wellbeing Women voted the pill (and the washing machine) the most important inventions for women in the 20c

The impact of contraception Maternal mortality – would be almost halved in developing countries if women’s contraceptive needs were met John Santelli review (2007) 86% of decline in US teenage pregnancy rate attributed to improved use of contraception St. Louis study (2007): Provision of free contraception to 9000 women aged resulted in over 60% fall in abortion rates and a significantly lower teenage pregnancy rate

Women’s knowledge: an essential pre-requisite to choice Sexual Health Improvement Framework ambition: Increase knowledge and awareness of all methods of contraception among all groups in the local population…but No data to show current knowledge of women across the fertile lifecourse, or of parents, or of professionals No systematic way of providing information about contraception to young people and adult women: patchy SRE, no universal provision to adult women – or men Results in patchy and often inaccurate information, disseminated through word of mouth and personal experience

Professionals’ knowledge: expanding or limiting choice? Sexual health professionals Definition of LARC? Emergency IUDs? Condoms – included in choice of methods? The importance of incorporating the prevention role of the wider health and non-health workforce into commissioning (Sexual Health Framework) A range of professionals in touch with women need to be well informed about contraception and local services – otherwise misinformation will limit women’s choice Making every contact count is critical in system of reduced capacity

Knowledge makes a difference Pharmacy intervention: intensive education of pharmacists on emergency contraception options + rapid access referral pathway tripled emergency IUD fittings (2/3 to nullips) with no pregnancies reported in the treatment group Sex. Worth Talking About - Contraception. Worth Talking About – Chlamydia. Worth Talking About - developed and laid the foundations of building knowledge, conversation and access to contraceptive choice among teenagers, young adults, parents and professionals – promoting open and honest discussions… but - only ran for three months…

Impact from the campaign? Some indication from service data Contraception - Percentage of women using Long Acting Reversible Contraception increased from 24% in to 26% in and 28% in * Under 18 conception rate showed largest single year decline: 7.8% ( ) v 6.5% ( ) *Community Contraceptive Clinic data

The challenge Reassert the critical importance of contraception Maximise the potential of free access to highly effective methods Develop a national communications plan to improve knowledge, identify the assets in the new landscape and the current information sources of contraception and systematise the provision of information for all women – and their partners
