OR of providing contraceptive counseling routinely, as compared to often, sometimes, or never (≥80% vs. <80%).
OR estimate not reliable: ≤5 residents with nonoutpatient plans reported routine counseling (≥80% of preventive visits).
OR not estimable: Only two faculty were not planning to continue practice in an outpatient setting.
OR not estimable: 0 providers who do not perceive contraceptive counseling as important (out of 4) reported routine counseling (≥80% of preventive visits).
OR estimate not reliable: <5 participants with no prior contraceptive counseling lectures provided routine counseling (≥80% of preventive visits).
