The "Increasing Equity and Access to Contraception in Arkansas Initiative" led by University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock provides long-acting reversible contraceptive devices to uninsured women who've just given birth. The initiative aims to reduce unintended pregnancies says Nirvana Manning, M.D., chair of UAMS Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
