Abstract
Despite continual improvement in oral contraceptive formulations, many women still have unwarranted concerns about their safety and remain ignorant of their nonreproductive health benefits. The need for a reliable method of contraception is the greatest among adolescents and women older than 35 years--the two groups in the United States with the highest abortion rates.
