Abstract
Dear Editor, The recent article generated from a roundtable discussion regarding long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) use highlights several barriers to their uptake in Australia, including education and training of clinicians. The article's Figure 1 presents comparative contraceptive effectiveness for different methods, which is similar to other material available on the Family Planning Alliance Australia (FPAA) website and cited in the article. It is pleasing to see that Figure 1 presents some updated information regarding contraceptive effectiveness for certain methods compared with the older FPAA resources which are still available online. However, there are concerns with Figure 1 regarding the presentation of details for fertility-awareness-based methods (FABM) of contraception.
