About the LARC Program
ACOG's Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Program works to lower the unintended pregnancy rate in the US by connecting providers, patients, and the public with the most up-to-date information and resources on LARC methods.
We work to:
- Create, revise, and review clinical and educational materials with our LARC Work Group of expert advisors
- Advocate on behalf of providers and patients to ensure access to LARC methods
- Create educational and practice support tools to improve contraceptive practice quality and efficiency
- Advocate for reimbursement and coverage of LARC methods
- Develop and provide educational outreach materials and training activities
- Build relationships with family planning colleagues and organizations
- Provide updates on the LARC Program with our E-newsletter and through other media
- Conduct research on LARC knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns
