Medical Eligibility for Initiating Contraception (MEC)

Description

A reference tool for clinicians who want to check a patient’s medical eligibility for initiating various forms of contraception as they relate to absolute and relative contraindications. Information is based on 2024 contraception guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization.
