Participants had a mean age of 31\u00a0years; most identified as heterosexual (67%) and said that they were in a relationship (71%). Overwhelmingly, participants said that the most important information they wanted to know prior to using a contraceptive implant or intrauterine device was potential side effects (97%), signs that something is wrong (91%), effectiveness (90%), cost (87%), how and where to access the method (82%) and the experiences of other people who have used the method (81%). Most participants said that they go to their healthcare provider for information about contraception (86%). However, 78% said they also turn to the internet, and 15% said they use social media. When asked to indicate their preferred source of contraceptive information, participants reported their healthcare provider (93%), the internet (65%), friends (42%) and social media (20%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that those considering using contraceptive implants and intrauterine devices have clear information needs, and this information should be provided to consumers during contraceptive counselling by a healthcare provider.
