Things I know:
- Depo-Provera discontinuation rates are reported as 30-something percent to 70-something percent, depending on where and age.
- "The prevalence of Depo Provera use was 14.4%"- from "Depo-Provera® and gingivitis among United States women" by L. Susan Taichman, RDH, MPH, 2007
- “About 10 percent of American females aged 15 to 19 who use birth control use Depo-Provera, compared with 3 percent of women in the United States overall.” ( http://sexualhealth.e-healthsource.com/?p=news1&id=523848 )
- “In 2002, about 47 percent of female teenagers (4.6 million), and about 46 percent of male teenagers (4.7 million) had had sexual intercourse at least once.” (CDC 2002 teen stats)
Clearly a lot of people quit this contraceptive; but how many?
