Formative research
• Common barriers to LARC access across practice settings
– High cost to clients
– Clinic flow issues
– No recent provider training

STI screening and IUD insertion
• Women at high personal risk à screen before IUD placement
• Same-day screening and placement if:
– Patient can be reached for treatment
– Clinic flow allows for longer visit
• Women at low personal risk for STIs may safely use IUDs without screening tests

Take home points
• A 4-hour training can change patient care! Best practices: • Get buy in from staff at all levels • Ensure all team members have training
appropriate to their roles • Same-day provision should be standard care • Patient education materials in waiting areas • Evaluate progress
