Australian women’s knowledge of intrauterine devices (IUDs) for contraception

Intrauterine devices (IUD) are among the most effective forms of contraception available. Yet, results from the 2024 National Women’s Health Survey show that uptake is low and that most Australian women feel they do not know much about them. Even among those who feel they know everything about IUDs, only 1 in 3 correctly identified them as the most effective form of contraception.

This report is one of a series from the 2024 National Women’s Health Survey, a representative survey of Australian women aged 18 to 50 years old. The Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has funded Jean Hailes for Women’s Health to conduct the annual National Women’s Health Survey since 2017.
