More Ortho Evra® News
A new survey recently found that discussions about birth control rate last on the list of important topics that couples discuss. Marriage is twice as likely to not be discussed compared to the subject of birth control, according to the survey commissioned by Ortho Women's Health and Urology.
"Women are doing themselves a disservice by not talking about the topics that matter most to us," says Lauren Howard, a nationally recognized life coach.
To help women engage in more meaningful conversations, Ortho Women's Health and Urology and Lauren Howard have partnered to launch an online educational program called "Pill Lo Talk" that empowers women to communicate about a variety of important topics such as talking about birth control methods like condoms, birth control pills, and the Ortho Evra® birth control patch.
"No matter whom you're talking with - your husband, your best friend or your doctor - conversations about important topics can be difficult," says Howard. "Pill Lo Talk" guides offer practical advice on how to initiate conversations on a variety of subjects and how to make them meaningful. It is important that women can talk to their partner about a variety of important topics like what types of birth control they prefer such as the pill or Ortho Evra® patch.
According to the survey, only 17 percent of married adults discuss birth control and on a regular basis versus 46 percent of single adults.
The "Pill Lo Talk" guides offers a "How-To" section that uses the topic of birth control to demonstrate how to prepare and initiate important discussions.
