Description
The U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use comprises recommendations for the use of specific contraceptive methods by patients who have certain characteristics or medical conditions. The U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use addresses a select group of common, yet sometimes controversial or complex, issues regarding initiation and use of specific contraceptive methods. The app is developed directly from the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) by the Division of Reproductive Health and covers more than 60 characteristics or medical conditions (U.S. MEC) and numerous clinical situations (U.S. SPR). These recommendations are intended to assist healthcare providers when they counsel women, men, and couples about contraceptive method choice and use. Although these recommendations are meant to serve as a source or clinical guidance, healthcare providers should always consider the individual clinical circumstances of each person seeking family planning services.

Ratings and Reviews
2016
Great app. Most data hasn’t changed since 2016 but some has.
Helpful resource
Great for quickly referencing CDC contraceptive guidelines and allowing assessment of multiple medical conditions to aid selection. The app gets updated along with new content regularly even though it says CDC Contraception 2016 at the top of the app.
Must have for providers of contraception
I love having evidence based information in my pocket. This new 2021 update allows you to choose up to 3 conditions at a time. Thanks CDC!
