Discontinuation Of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception Versus Short-Term Hormonal Methods In Urban Ghana: A Pilot Longitudinal Study

We aimed to prospectively assess whether discontinuation rates differed among women who adopted a LARC method versus those who adopted a short-term hormonal method.
