The US Department of Health and Human Services cited insufficient data on EC use for females aged 11\u201312 years. These youngest adolescents, however, rarely need EC: data from California (USA) show that in 2009, fewer than one in 10,000 females under the age of 13 years received EC. Maintaining barriers to safe and effective EC is not medically necessary and conflicts with national goals to decrease teenage and unintended pregnancies. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2217\/whe.13.8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,12]],"date-time":"2013-03-12T09:55:10Z","timestamp":1363082110000},"page":"139-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Access to Levonorgestrel Emergency Contraception: Science versus Federal Politics"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kirsten MJ","family":"Thompson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California, 3333 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tina R","family":"Raine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women's Health Research Institute, Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, 2000 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diana Greene","family":"Foster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California, 3333 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J Joseph","family":"Speidel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California, 3333 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip D","family":"Darney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California, 3333 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire D","family":"Brindis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California, 3333 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cynthia C","family":"Harper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of California, 3333 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1a-WHE.13.8","unstructured":"Papers of special note have been highlighted as:"},{"key":"bibr2a-WHE.13.8","unstructured":"of interest."},{"key":"bibr3a-WHE.13.8","unstructured":"of considerable interest."},{"key":"bibr1-WHE.13.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp048135"},{"key":"bibr2-WHE.13.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2008.09.004"},{"key":"bibr3-WHE.13.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e31824c0aed"},{"key":"bibr4a-WHE.13.8","unstructured":"This actual use study presents the data that the US FDA reviewed when considering whether to remove the age restriction."},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr4-WHE.13.8","first-page":"50","volume":"59","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.","year":"2010","journal-title":"MMWR Morb.
