i am doing a health project on contraceptives. where can i find the history of Lea's shield and Essure. They are both fairly new products and I could find nothing on wikipedia or anything. Also, where could I find stats on the use or non-use of contraceptives per state.

http://www.leasshield.com/

http://www.essure.com/Home/Understanding/WhatisEssure/tabid/55/Default.aspx

I didn't look for stats. Knowing that that data is highlprivate, and any numbers listed are likely to be "projected", I didn't bother. Here are some side issues:

To find information on the history of Lea's shield and Essure, you can visit the official websites of the products.

For Lea's shield, you can visit their website at http://www.leasshield.com/.

For Essure, you can visit their website at http://www.essure.com/Home/Understanding/WhatisEssure/tabid/55/Default.aspx.

These websites should provide you with the necessary information on the background and history of these contraceptive products.

As for finding statistics on the use or non-use of contraceptives per state, it may be challenging to find official and up-to-date information. However, you could try searching for research studies or reports conducted by organizations such as the Guttmacher Institute, which focuses on reproductive health research. They may have some data or reports related to contraceptive use. You can visit their website at http://www.guttmacher.org/.

To find information on the history of Lea's shield and Essure, you can start by visiting the official websites of the products. The Lea's shield website (http://www.leasshield.com/) and the Essure website (http://www.essure.com/Home/Understanding/WhatisEssure/tabid/55/Default.aspx) provide information about the products, including their history and development.

If you couldn't find information on these websites, you can try searching on reputable medical websites or academic databases. Websites like PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) or Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) often have academic articles and research papers that might mention the history and development of these contraceptive methods. Use keywords such as "Lea's shield history" or "Essure development" to narrow down your search.

Regarding statistics on the use or non-use of contraceptives per state, the Guttmacher Institute website (http://www.guttmacher.org/) is a reliable source for reproductive health data. Although I couldn't find specific data on the use of Lea's shield or Essure per state on their website, they provide comprehensive information on contraceptive use and access. You can explore their publications and reports, such as the State Factsheets, to find relevant statistics. Additionally, you can try contacting the Guttmacher Institute directly to inquire about specific data or sources they may have available.
