Abstract

This state-of-the-art review evaluates whether contraceptive apps could improve knowledge resulting in greater interest and use of long-acting contraception, what type of information an app should contain, and who may benefit most from apps. The studies found a high interest in easy accessibility and respect for privacy. Science-based information and facilitation of knowledge about all contraceptives were desired. Contraceptive apps were useful in presenting women with validated information and complement professional advice.
