Abstract
Effectiveness, duration of use, convenience, and potential changes in bleeding patterns drove adolescents' choice and continuation of an IUD. Bleeding changes and pain contributed to IUD discontinuation. Discussion of effectiveness, duration and convenience, and anticipatory guidance regarding post-insertion side effects may be important in counseling young women about IUDs.
