Changes in contraceptive method mix following the Colorado Family Planning Initiative.
Article in Contraception, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo describe the changes in contraceptive method use and mix among Colorado Title X clients following the 2009 Colorado Family Planning Initiative (CFPI), which allowed Colorado Title X providers to offer all contraceptive methods without medically unnecessary barriers. STUDY
designUsing data on all visits to Colorado Title X clinics between 2007 and 2016 for women aged 10-49 years, we described trends in contraceptive method use by age group and race/ethnicity prior to and following the implementation of CFPI.
resultsThe implementation of CFPI saw an abrupt increase in Title X visits. Visits subsequently declined steeply for non-Hispanic White clients while visits by Hispanic clients remained at elevated levels. During CFPI, the use of long-acting reversible contraceptives increased while the use of oral contraceptive pills decreased. Nonetheless, oral contraceptive pills remained the most common method used by Title X clients throughout the study period. Changes in the method mix varied by age and race/ethnicity. Method switching was relatively uncommon among established Title X clinic users.
conclusionsCFPI, which removed financial barriers to the most expensive methods, was associated with increases in the use of long-acting reversible contraceptives and changes in method mix that varied by age group and race/ethnicity. IMPLICATIONS: CFPI removed barriers to previously inaccessible methods that contributed to changes in the method mix at Title X clinics. That these changes were not uniform across ages and race/ethnicities emphasize that subgroup variation in family planning policy impact stems from heterogeneity in barriers to care and method-specific unmet demand.
