This week, I invite you to actively participate in the discussion which will focus on contraceptive

methods and its effectiveness. Over the years, pharmaceutical companies pour loads of evidence in

contraceptive methods, revealing how effective these methods are to prevent from unwanted

pregnancies. On the other hand, an honest review about what are the side effects of these methods

are rarely discussed. To participate in this forum, first hit subscribe button to receive notifications

- Read the article by Kraetschmer, 2020 and then answer the following: (https://asploro.com/should-

women-consult-health-agencies-in-matters-of-birth-control-and-contraception/)

- One of the main implications suggested by the team was to " discontinue funding through taxpayer

money (from an economic perspective) for health agencies which continue to disseminate flawed

science and demonstrate incompetence in questions about the safety of contraception." After

reading the article, to what extent do you agree with this stance? Support your answer with evidence

from the article. You can definitely reflect on your personal experience, if there is any.
