Abstract

The 2016 U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (U.S. MEC) comprises recommendations for the use of specific contraceptive methods by women and men who have certain characteristics or medical conditions. These recommendations for health care providers were updated by CDC after review of the scientific evidence and consultation with national experts who met in Atlanta, Georgia, during August 26-28, 2015. The information in this report updates the 2010 U.S. MEC (CDC. U.S. medical eligibility criteria for contraceptive use, 2010. MMWR 2010:59 [No. RR-4]). Notable updates include the addition of recommendations for women with cystic fibrosis, women with multiple sclerosis, and women receiving certain psychotropic drugs or St. John's wort; revisions to the recommendations for emergency contraception, including the addition of ulipristal acetate; and revisions to the recommendations for postpartum women; women who are breastfeeding; women with known dyslipidemias, migraine headaches, superficial venous disease, gestational trophoblastic disease, sexually transmitted diseases, and human immunodeficiency virus; and women who are receiving antiretroviral therapy. The recommendations in this report are intended to assist health care providers when they counsel women, men, and couples about contraceptive method choice. Although these recommendations are meant to serve as a source of clinical guidance, health care providers should always consider the individual clinical circumstances of each person seeking family planning services. This report is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice for individual patients. Persons should seek advice from their health care providers when considering family planning options.

Overview

Written from a shortened version of the paper’s full text (it is longer than we read).

TL;DR

This 2016 CDC report updates the U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (U.S. MEC), assigning category 1–4 classifications for the safety of contraceptive methods in people with specific characteristics and medical conditions. It adds recommendations for cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, certain psychotropic drugs and St. John's wort, and ulipristal acetate for emergency contraception, and revises recommendations for postpartum/breastfeeding women, HIV, and several other conditions.

Key findings

  • Approximately 45% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended; the goal of the recommendations is to remove unnecessary medical barriers to contraception and thereby decrease unintended pregnancies.
  • Eligibility is classified into four categories: 1 = no restriction; 2 = advantages generally outweigh theoretical or proven risks; 3 = risks usually outweigh advantages; 4 = unacceptable health risk. Example given: COCs are category 2 for smokers aged <35 years, category 3 for women aged ≥35 years smoking <15 cigarettes/day, and category 4 for those smoking ≥15 cigarettes/day.
  • Notable updates from U.S. MEC 2010 include new recommendations for women with cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, and women receiving certain psychotropic drugs or St. John's wort; revisions for emergency contraception (adding ulipristal acetate); and revisions for postpartum and breastfeeding women and women with dyslipidemias, migraine, superficial venous disease, gestational trophoblastic disease, STDs, HIV, and those receiving antiretroviral therapy.
  • On progestin-only injectables and HIV acquisition, CDC "reviewed all available evidence and agreed that the data were not sufficiently conclusive to change current guidance," but advises women using these methods to also always use condoms and take other HIV preventive measures.

Methods

  • CDC monitored new literature via the WHO/CDC continuous identification of research evidence (CIRE) system, with automated weekly PubMed searches; in 2014 CDC reviewed all existing 2010 recommendations for evidence that could change a recommendation.
  • An expert meeting was held August 27–28, 2014, in Atlanta with 11 family planning experts and partner representatives to set scope and process; a second meeting August 26–28, 2015, involved 44 participants (29 participating throughout, 15 topic-specific experts).
  • Systematic reviews were conducted for each topic following PRISMA guidelines, with strength and quality of evidence assigned using the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force system; when direct evidence was limited, indirect evidence and theoretical concerns were considered. Reviews were peer reviewed by two or three experts, and three external reviewers commented on accuracy, feasibility, and clarity.

Limitations

  • Stated: recommendations for which no evidence is cited are based on expert opinion from the WHO or U.S. expert meetings and might draw on sources other than systematic reviews; indirect evidence and theoretical concerns were used when direct evidence was limited or unavailable.
  • Stated: limited information exists on the safety of the combined hormonal patch and vaginal ring in women with specific medical conditions, so their categories are considered "a preliminary best judgement" pending further studies, and COC evidence is applied to them except where noted.
  • Stated: evidence on breastfeeding and progestin-only methods is generally of poor quality, lacks standard definitions of breastfeeding or outcome measures, and has not included premature or ill infants; evidence on the relationship between hormonal contraception and HIV acquisition is described as inconclusive.

    The postabortion row assigns the diaphragm/cap category 1, meaning no restriction, for second-trimester abortion. Its clarification instead says these methods are unsuitable until six weeks afterward.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
