Multiple states allow pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraception but can have age restrictions. The study objective was to examine how age influences adolescents’ and young adults’ (AYA) ability to self-report potential contraindications to hormonal contraception compared with physician reports (our “gold standard”). Between February 2017-August 2018, women 14–21 years old and their physicians were recruited in outpatient adolescent primary and subspecialty care clinics. Screeners were completed separately for medical conditions that are potential contraindications to hormonal contraception as defined by the Centers for Disease Control Medical Eligibility Criteria. Overall discordance was defined as differences between the patient’s and provider’s answers; potential unsafe discordance was defined as AYAs under-reporting of contraindications. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine predictors of overall and unsafe discordance. Of 394 AYA/physician pairs, 45% were from subspecialty clinics, 35% identified as African American, mean age was 16.7 ± 1.9 years, and 38% were sexually active. Fifty percent of patients reported potential contraindications to hormonal contraception. There was only an 18% rate of unsafe discordance, with no statistical difference by age but a higher rate in subspecialty clinics (28% vs. 10%). No variables were predictive of higher rates of unsafe discordance in general or subspecialty clinics. Potential overall and unsafe discordance between AYAs’ and physicians’ reports of medical contraindications to combined hormonal contraception were not related to younger age and thus support expansion of pharmacy access to adolescents. Pediatric subspecialists need to proactively address hormonal contraceptive needs and safety as pharmacy access expands.
