Birth Control Methods Chart

Designed for providers to help clients consider their birth control options, this chart takes client autonomy into account and presents birth control methods clients can start and stop on their own and those that require provider involvement (prescription or procedure). The chart highlights method characteristics, including use and frequency, so clients can make informed decisions, based on their own preferences.

The birth control methods chart gives providers multiple starting points to center a client’s preferences, including: number of pregnancies expected, use and frequency, menstrual period changes, potential side effects, and other considerations.
