Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST h0h1R0xY. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study examined the prevalence and effects of potential barriers to removal of levonorgestrel implants (Norplant) among low-income women. Methods. A sample of 687 women who received Norplant at hospital-based family planning clinics were interviewed before Norplant insertion and 6 months after Norplant insertion (or at Norplant removal if removal occurred earlier). Those who contined to use Norplant were reinterviewed at 2 years or at removal. Results. In a multivariate analysis, only 1 of the 4 potential barriers-cost-significantly impeded Norplant discontinuation. Conclusions. Family planning clinics need to make clear that they follow a policy of Norplant removal on demand, regardless of the patient's ability to pay.
