Abstract Created by REACH
This study explored contraceptive access and use among a sample of 353 current and retired Servicewomen who completed a deployment between 2010 and 2017. Participants answered online questionnaires on contraceptive access (i.e., ease of access, facilitators to access, and barriers to access) and contraception use before and during their last deployment. Although Servicewomen generally reported ease of access to contraception and several factors that facilitated access – especially during predeployment – they also reported barriers to accessing contraception, especially during deployment.
