OBJECTIVES: Contraceptive use among unhoused pregnancy-capable individuals remains understudied. This study examines contraceptive use, barriers, and preferences among these individuals.
STUDY DESIGN: A 19-question survey was administered to 52 unhoused pregnancy-capable individuals in Phoenix, Arizona, assessing contraceptive use, access, and preferences for future contraceptive care and education.
RESULTS: Overall, 60% reported contraceptive use. While 67% wanted to avoid pregnancy, 10% desired it. The most used methods were barrier contraception (52%), abstinence (25%), and surgical sterilization (19%). Six percent used an intrauterine device (IUD); none used etonogestrel implants. Transportation (29%) and cost (25%) were the primary barriers to access. Participants preferred accessing contraception (63%) and receiving education (42%) from health care providers rather than street medicine teams or volunteers.
CONCLUSIONS: Unhoused individuals reported different contraceptive patterns from the general population and preferred licensed providers for contraceptive care. Transportation and cost were the primary barriers to accessing care.
