    Abstract
    Background/Purpose: Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) methods are highly effective methods of birth control including intrauterine devices (IUD) and the implant. There is often a lower rate of usage with these methods due to factors such as high upfront cost, invasive insertion methods, and possible side effects. This research is aimed to understand some of the perceived and actual barriers for usage, as well as to identify any gaps in education regarding this method. Design and Methods: This project was conducted as a qualitative study with 114 total participants. Consent for the study will be implied by completing the survey. The survey will be distributed via the School of Nursing from Survey Monkey. The data was collected via a 10 question survey, which was distributed through the Salem State University School of nursing email server. Results: Respondents had a generalized understanding of long-acting reversible methods, while also having low levels of usage. The data supported that this population, which was predominantly 18-22 years old, had an adequate LARC understanding. However, 55% of women claimed current oral contraceptive use, and only 17% cited current LARC use, despite the high 88% education rate Implications: The study enables healthcare providers and health educators to assess the education needs and barriers that exist with LARC usage. An understanding of LARC methods will help to expand access and understanding of this method.
