- Education and Information: We provide unbiased and evidence-based information on a wide range of contraceptive methods, including hormonal birth control (such as pills, patches, rings, injections, and implants), intrauterine devices (IUDs), condoms, diaphragms, fertility awareness methods, and permanent sterilization.
