    The document compares the typical effectiveness of various contraceptive methods in preventing pregnancy within one year of use. The most effective methods that result in less than 1 pregnancy per 100 women are long-acting reversible contraceptives like implants and IUDs. The next most effective are methods like injections, pills, patches, and rings that result in 4-7 pregnancies per 100 women. Less effective are barrier methods and fertility awareness-based methods that result in more than 13 pregnancies per 100 women if not used correctly or consistently.
