Ensuring that clinic staff have evidence-based knowledge about the full range of contraceptive methods is essential to providing education to patients about their contraceptive choices, as well as avoiding inappropriate limitations to contraceptive use based on outdated understanding of contraindications to specific methods. Ongoing training about contraceptive methods is critical for staff providing contraceptive counseling and education – including both clinically licensed staff and health educators. In addition, all clinic staff that may interact with patients with questions about contraceptive methods – including those answering advice lines and those who perform patient intakes – should have a basic foundation of knowledge so as to ensure that patients receive consistent information. Special attention should be paid to methods about which providers have been documented to have inadequate knowledge, including newer methods and methods, such as fertility awareness-based methods, that have been historically underemphasized in clinical settings.
