Contraceptive Research, Introduction, and Use

Polly F. Harrison and Allan Rosenfield - Personal Name;

In late 1996, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Committee on Contraceptive Research and Development completed a major study of the state of contraceptive science, the need for new contraceptives, and factors helping or hindering response to that need.1 As part of its work, the committee reviewed case histories of experience with the development and introduction of new contraceptives, including a brief review of the contraceptive implant, Norplant®. The committee believed that the Norplant experience echoed critical elements in the history of several other contraceptives and that a detailed analysis of that experience would be particularly instructive. As the first real contraceptive innovation in over two decades and as a long-acting method requiring clinical intervention for application and removal, the method raised an especially wide range of issues that could offer valuable lessons about the barriers and problems to be addressed if other new technologies are to enter the contraceptive marketplace.
