Updating CDC's Contraception Guidance Documents: U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use and U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the opening of a docket to obtain comment on CDC's contraception recommendations.

Updates to these guidance documents typically occur every 5 years. As part of the planning process for the next update, CDC is requesting public comment on content to consider for revision or addition to the recommendations and how to improve the implementation of the guidance documents. This action is necessary to consider multiple and diverse perspectives and ensure that the documents meet the needs of U.S. health care providers and the persons they serve.
