The ContraIndex quantifies net benefits = returns – labor.

Results for 22 contraceptive methods show large variation:
🔹 Fertility monitor (+47)
🔹 Pill (+25)
🔹 Hormonal IUD (+8)
🔻 Hormone implant (–11)
🔻 Morning-after pill (–24)

[Scale: –100 = max. labor, 100 = max. returns]

Which contraceptive methods involve most labor vs. greatest returns?

🟢 Condoms = more balanced
