Rodriguez MI, Skye M, Edelman AB, et al. - Researchers aimed at determining how the prescribing provider (pharmacist or clinician) affects the 12-month rates of continuation of an effective form of contraception or perfect use of contraception. In this 1-year prospective cohort study, they included 388 women seeking contraception in 139 pharmacies across 4 states (California, Colorado, Hawaii, and Oregon); 88% of whom (n = 340) completed 12 months of follow-up. Per findings, women receiving their baseline prescription from a pharmacist vs a clinician did not differ in use of any effective contraception, perfect use, or switching at 12 months.
