Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones speaks with Dr. David Turok and what his team’s research means for women and OBGYN practice.
You’ve been good about family planning, You’ve had the children you want, when you want. You’ve always used birth control, but when can you stop? For most women, it is when they enter menopause, but some birth control methods can make it difficult to tell when you are menopausal.

Women's health expert Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones discuss the differences between tubal ligation versus tubal removal to help determine which procedure is better for you.
Your family is complete—you and your partner are considering permanent birth control. Does the father get a vasectomy, or does the mother get a tubal ligation? According to Dr. Alex Pastuszak, the decision should be easy.

Less than half of high schools in the United States mandate contraceptive and sexual education, resulting in many young adults receiving misinformation—or no information all at—regarding medically accurate contraceptive methods. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones talks to Grace Mason, founder and president of the University of Utah's Campus Contraceptive Initiative (CCI), about promoting family planning within the university setting, and how CCI is helping to expand access of contraceptive options to students.
