Abstract
The papers in this special issue explore a range of issues and opportunities across the spectrum of sexual and reproductive health in primary care, including in relation to contraception access; support for unintended pregnancies; abortion care; preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and interconception care; and issues relating to informed consent. The special issue takes a reproductive life course perspective through consideration of both pregnancy prevention and pregnancy preparation.
