HHS Seeking to Increase LARC Utilization
In its ongoing efforts to promote women’s health, Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) is raising awareness of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) identifies LARCs, including intrauterine devices and subdermal contraceptive devices, as the most effective reversible contraceptive method. Requiring no action on the part of the person after the device is in place, LARCs have high rates of user satisfaction and method continuation. HHS has made improving access to LARCs a priority.
