Overview
The copper IUD is the most effective method of emergency contraception, with much lower rates of failure than oral emergency contraceptive pills, but its usage for emergency contraception is quite low. This project will seek to evaluate the acceptability and uptake of the copper IUD as emergency contraception among sexually assaulted women who seek services from the Violence Intervention Program’s Sexual Assault Center at the University of Southern California Medical Center. The findings from this study may be used to encourage providers to make this form of emergency contraception more readily available to victims of sexual assault.
