Overview
The Pharmacists Expand Access to Reproductive Healthcare study investigates whether women who are administered hormonal contraception by a pharmacist have different results than women who are administered by a clinician in terms of unintended pregnancies and contraceptive continuation. Pharmacists are now allowed to administer hormonal contraceptives like the patch and the pill and this study aims to look at the results to see if it improves contraceptive continuation and prevents unintended pregnancies.
