Immediate Postpartum Long-Acting
Reversible Contraception (IPLARC)

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG, 2016) recommends that women should be counseled prenatally about the option for immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (IPLARC) due to its potential to reduce unintended and short-interval pregnancies. The PA PQC’s IPLARC initiative supports this recommendation.
