HTA on long acting reversible contraceptive methods
NIRRH successfully completed a HTA on long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC). The HTA was approved by TAC and HTAIn Board in Feb-April 2019. This HTA aimed at determining if the LARC method, Nexplanon (a match-stick sized sub dermal hormonal contraceptive method) was clinically effective and cost effective. An economic evaluation was done by constructing a Decision Analytic Model. The HTA policy brief on LARC is available at this link:
