Summary

Hormonal birth control methods include birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings; they are normally available only with a doctor's prescription. This study will evaluate a program designed to increase the availability of birth control by allowing pharmacists to give women hormonal birth control without a doctor's prescription. Under this program, pharmacists will evaluate women who want to use birth control according to specific guidelines created by doctors. If a woman meets the criteria in the guidelines, a pharmacist could then give her the appropriate form of hormonal birth control.
