SAN FRANCISCO – During an update on contraception at the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Dr. Eve Espey touched on topics ranging from the latest in long-acting reversible contraception methods and the use of those methods in teens, to the “next big thing,” which she said is postpartum intrauterine device placement.

Dr. Espey, chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, also discussed the latest from the CHOICE project, talked about current controversies in contraception, and offered practical clinical tips for physicians to take back to their practices.

In this video, Dr. Espey summed up some of the latest evidence on contraception choices, including findings among obese patients.

Dr. Espey reported having no financial disclosures.
