The Contraceptive CHOICE Project was a prospective cohort study of 9256 women in the St Louis area. The project provided no-cost reversible contraception to participants for 2 to 3 years with the goal of increasing uptake of long-acting reversible contraception and decreasing unintended pregnancy in the area. This manuscript will provide a brief summation of the major findings to date including the dramatic effect the project had on unintended pregnancy and abortion rates.
