Abstract

Currently available contraceptive methods have not eliminated the burden of unintended pregnancy. Future progress will require technological advancements, leading to the development of novel and highly effective birth control strategies that will be acceptable to the general population. Included are highlights of some of the ongoing research, demonstrating the development of methods with the potential to be highly effective, widely accepted, easy to use, and more cost-effective, with fewer side effects, than currently available options.
