S9 E13 Contraception: Series wrap up and Young Adult’s Perspective

Welcome to Protected: Adolescents & Contraception a TeamPeds Talks podcast series brought to you by the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners
(NAPNAP).
Access to contraception and reproductive care is an essential aspect of adolescent-friendly health care services and to preventing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and more — yet many teens face significant barriers. This podcast series is a call to action for pediatric focused clinicians who can contribute significantly to increasing access for this important aspect of adolescent health care. The focus of this series is to
address multiple aspects of contraceptive care — from confidentiality to various available methods and provide clinical pearls to help improve access for adolescents regardless of setting.
In this last episode our host for this series Alison Moriarty Daley, PHD, APRN, PPCNP-BC, FAAN, explores young adult’s perspective on contraception and goes back to the episodes, guests, and topics we meet and explored in this series.
The idea for this podcast series came from recent work on a collaborative project for NAPNAP that addressed reproductive access for adolescents.  We felt that this series could help provide education to other nurse practitioners to help remove existing barriers and improve clinical care in this area. 
This has been an exciting journey.
Let’s talk about it!
