This PedsCases Note provides a one-page infographic on providing contraception care in youth. It provides a visual overview of recommended options for contraception, along with tips for counselling patients. It was created by Katharine Jensen, a medical student at the University of Alberta, with the help of Dr. Giuseppina Di Meglio, an associate professor of pediatrics at the Montreal Children's Hospital.
