About the Thematic Series
In the modern world, contraception forms a regular part of life and medical care to cover a range of symptoms, preventative needs and additional concerns. With a wealth of choice in contraceptive care, it seems probable that complexities arise. This Thematic Series will investigate how medication-based contraceptives compare against Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives, in terms of their efficacy, safety and use to treat multiple aspects of reproductive health. How do contraceptives go beyond their physical effects to affect psychological wellbeing? Moreover, when regular contraception fails, the efficacy of emergency contraception will also require consideration.
An additional complexity includes access to contraceptive devices, while it is a regular part of life, it is not as easily accessible for all. This series will also investigate the demographics influencing the accessibility of contraception and the consequences to health and wellbeing when inaccessible. Beyond geographical and physical accessibility, the perception and attitudes towards contraception may form a significant part of access. How does knowledge affect outcomes when on the topic of contraception? Does this change when focus shifts to more permanent forms of contraception, or alternative methods of contraception, including male hormonal contraception.
Even still, complexities can arise when considering the individual and their contraceptive method of choice. Responsiveness can differ by age, or by life cycle, perhaps even the influence of pre-existing comorbidities can add to the complexities of contraception. Additional factors beyond the individual, including policies and attitudes towards delivering contraception, can affect the amount of choice provided. How about the impacts of discontinuing contraception and the effect it has on patients? All of these aspects of contraception combined can prompt the need for best practices within reproductive healthcare, of which this series intends to highlight.
The journal is seeking original submissions and review articles on the following topics related to contraception and related issues:
• Comparative effectiveness of contraception methods (e.g., medication, LARCs)
• Safety and efficacy of contraceptive devices and use in multiple contexts
• Physical and psychological side effects of contraception, including emergency contraception
• Developments in contraceptive technologies
• Global disparities in accessing contraception and treatment of side effects
• Consequences of lacking accessibility
• Attitudes towards and knowledge about contraception and reproductive health
• Permanent contraception and associated attitudes, risk factors and best practices
• Advances in male hormonal contraception
• Effects and outcomes of discontinuing contraception
• Best clinical practices for reproductive health practitioners
