User feedback early in product development is critical for maximizing uptake and continuation. Our global online survey (April 2017-December 2018) explored women's opinions about MPT formulations (e.g., fast-dissolving vaginal inserts, films, intravaginal rings, injectables, implants), preferences long-acting "on-demand"...

BackgroundNo empirical data support the 54-58mm external diameter of intravaginal rings (rings) currently available and in development for contraception other indications. Understanding how affects preference, adherence, acceptability is critical optimizing future product development.ObjectivesOur primary objectives were to determine which three non-medicated differing diameters was preferred yielded highest adherence. Secondary comparing acceptability, patterns safety rings.Study DesignIn...
