• Discuss available contraceptive methods’ safety, efficacy, and side effects. 
• Implement a contraception consultation framework that demonstrates patient-centred shared decision-making.
• Outline common issues and side effects that arise in contraceptive care. 
• Propose strategies for breaking down barriers to contraception access.
