Objective: The copper intrauterine contraceptive (IUC) is the most effective method of emergency contraception (EC), yet it is underutilized. The objective was to evaluate a pilot project integrating the copper IUC into EC care. Study Design: Single-group evaluation study. Nine geographically diverse reproductive health centers implemented 6-month pilot interventions. All interventions included staff education and inclusion of the IUC in EC patient counseling; some sites developed patient education materials. Health center staff completed manual monthly tracking forms of the number of EC patients receiving oral levonorgestrel, ulipristal acetate or the copper IUC. Sites also tracked and reported the number of patients returning for removal during the 6-month pilot period and for 5 subsequent months. Main study outcomes included the number of IUC for EC insertions, the proportion that were same-day insertions and the proportion of patients receiving each EC type during the pilot period. A secondary outcome was the number of patients who had returned for removal at 5 months postpilot. Results: There were 101 IUC insertions for EC during the pilot period. Seventy-seven percent were same-day insertions; the remainder returned for insertion within 5 days of unprotected intercourse. The percentage of EC patients choosing the IUC varied by site from 1 to 16% (overall=7%). At 5 months postpilot, 20 patients (20%) had returned for removal. Conclusions: Some women will be interested in the copper IUC for EC, and therefore, all women should be offered this option. Results suggest that the large majority continued to use the IUC for ongoing contraception. Implications: Copper IUCs are a viable option for women in need of EC. All women should be offered the most effective EC option. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
