Tiffany McBride is getting married in 3 months and is at a women's health clinic to discuss contraception options. Tiffany is 33 years old and has never been pregnant. She smokes a

pack of cigarettes per day and has frequent migraine headaches and expressed concerns about taking oral contraceptives. Because of her age, she hopes to start a family within a year. Which of the following responses would be most appropriate when counseling Tiffany?
1. A diaphragm or cervical cap should be considered, because they have very few side effects, although they are not as effective as hormonal methods.
2. Condoms are a good choice, because they are the man's responsibility and they protect against STDs.
3. Depo-Provera would be a good alternative to oral contraceptives and it has a benefit of being effective almost immediately.
4. Oral contraceptives are the most effective and simple birth control method, and there is no reason to avoid taking the pill.

1. Elsa King, an African American 10th grader who is being encouraged by both parents to seek a college basketball scholarship

4. Hannah Norris, a Caucasian 10th grader who had been an A student but whose grades dropped significantly after she and her boyfriend started drinking and experimenting with marijuana
