Health Care System Factors for General Fertility Rate

Health Care System Factors

Access to family planning services are available in Utah from several sources: community health centers, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, Family Planning Elevated, and private providers. Utah law requires parental consent for unmarried minors to obtain contraception information and services from community health centers and clinics. A 2018 Utah law allows pharmacies to dispense three types of contraception - pills, patch, or ring - through a statewide standing order issued by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. People who are are 18 years and older can go to any participating pharmacy to receive their pills, patch, or ring directly from the pharmacist.
