Training of healthcare providers and use of long-acting reversible contraception in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review

摘要

Introduction Unintended pregnancy, a major global health issue resulting in unsafe terminations of pregnancy and maternal deaths in low- and middle-income countries, could be significantly reduced through increased use of modern contraception, including long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC). Training of healthcare providers to administer such contraceptives may improve uptake. We conducted a systematic review to collate the end-user uptake data following training of healthcare providers in low- and middle-income countries.
