Use of long-acting reversible contraception among adolescent and young adult women and receipt of sexually transmitted infection/human immunodeficiency virus–related services
Journal of Adolescent Health Feb 16, 2018
Steiner RJ, et al. - Experts sought to evaluate service receipt among new and continuing long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) users vs moderately and less effective method users and non-contraceptors.

However, new, but not continuing, LARC users, as compared with those not using a method requiring a clinic visit, displayed a greater tendency of having their risk assessed. This data suggested that initiating LARC could offer an opportunity to receive services that did not persist.
