How do you convince people to use contraceptives?

Answer 1

I told my mom that I was having really bad cramps, and that i had heavy spotting, and that i justed want to go to the doctor and see if there was anything they could do. After they examine you they take you in another room and ask you if you are sexually active, and that's when you explain to them that you just want the extra protection just in case. I just got my Birth Control today, and it worked like a charm. They can't tell your mom anything you told them in that room.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Contraceptives are just one tool to help people decide the best time to have a child. Rather than convincing people to use contraceptives, it is helpful to talk with people about family planning: Do they want to be pregnant this year? Should they delay a pregnancy this year for the healthiest spacing of pregnancies and best chance for a healthy pregnancy? How important is it for them to prevent a pregnancy at this point in their lives? Once those question are answered, talking about options for getting pregnant or avoiding pregnancy are appropriate. The patient's or couple's priorities are primary, not the health care provider's opinion about whether they should be "convinced."
