OBJECTIVES: After studying the information in this article, the reader should be able to: 1. Describe the purpose of the pregnancy prevention program. 2. Discuss the five most common reasons for unintended pregnancy. 3. List the components of the expanded pregnancy prevention program. Preventing unintended pregnancy is currently an unsolved problem in the United States, especially among teens. However, successful programs to minimize unintended pregnancy do exist and can serve as a model for other efforts. One such program is the Pregnancy Prevention Program, for use when prescribing isotretinoin to women with childbearing potential. Isotretinoin is a known teratogen and is prescribed disproportionately to teens, who are at higher risk of unintended pregnancy. The program has shown impressive effectiveness despite these handicaps, but since exposure to isotretinoin is so harmful to the fetus and some women still become pregnant while taking the drug, the program has been revised to reduce the failure rate further.
