Confidence in adolescent contraceptive counseling among residents and fellows training at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas

Objectives Evaluate trainees’ perceptions of past training and confidence in counseling about five contraceptive methods. Study Design Trainees completed an online survey in 2020. Logistic regressions evaluated the relationship between participant characteristics and confidence. Results Among 227 respondents (63% response rate), pediatric trainees reported the least confidence in counseling across each contraceptive method. Past training and confidence were associated. Conclusions Gaps in training should be addressed to improve confidence in contraceptive counseling among pediatricians in reproductively restricted states.
