As seen in Table 7, both Planned Parenthood and other WHP clinics typically offer a comprehensive range of contraceptive methods. The methods include oral contraceptives (the Pill) as well as long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants (., Implanon), or injectables (., Depo-Provera). LARCs are particularly important because they are the most effective in preventing unintended pregnancies and have lower failure rates. 45 However, they have higher initial costs, compared to methods like oral contraceptives or condoms, which tend to have higher failure rates, particularly if they are used intermittently. .
