Abstract:

On October 16, 2003, the Reproductive Health Technologies Project and The Alan Guttmacher Institute hosted a meeting entitled "The Unfinished Revolution in Contraception: Convenience, Consumer Access and Choice." The idea for the meeting sprang from an interesting marketing anecdote about the Ortho Evra patch, manufactured by Ortho-McNeil and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001.
