  • 摘要:The Zika Contraception Access Network established a network of 153 physicians across Puerto Rico as a short-term emergency response during the 2016–2017 Zika virus outbreak to provide client-centered contraceptive counseling and same-day contraception services at no cost for women who chose to prevent pregnancy. Between May 2016 and August 2017, 21 124 women received services. Contraception was used as a medical countermeasure to reduce adverse Zika-related reproductive outcomes during the outbreak and may be considered a key strategy in other emergencies. Contraception can serve as a medical countermeasure to reduce unintended pregnancy among women who choose to delay pregnancy during a Zika outbreak 1 and could substantially reduce the number of cases of Zika virus–associated microcephaly 2 and health care costs. 3
