Overview

abstract

  • OBJECTIVES: Evaluate trainees' perceptions of past training and confidence in counseling about five contraceptive methods. STUDY DESIGN: Trainees completed an online survey in 2020. Logistic regressions evaluated the relationship between participant characteristics and confidence. RESULTS: Among 227 respondents (63% response rate), pediatric trainees reported the least confidence in counseling across each contraceptive method. Past training and confidence were associated. CONCLUSIONS: Gaps in training should be addressed to improve confidence in contraceptive counseling among pediatricians in reproductively restricted states.
