CONTRACEPTIVE use was slightly more common among women with intellectual disability than matched comparators, although the types of contraception used differed substantially, according to a population-based cohort study. The study compared overall and annual contraceptive use between women with intellectual disability and matched comparators, examining both any contraceptive use and specific contraceptive methods. Long-Acting Methods Showed Different PatternsOverall, 26.8% of women with intellectual disability used contraception compared with 23.9% of matched comparators. Contraceptive injections were used more frequently by women with intellectual disability, representing 20.4% of contraceptive use compared with 4.8% among comparators. The investigators suggested that the greater use of contraceptive methods requiring minimal active management may reduce opportunities for women with intellectual disability to participate in contraceptive decision making.
