C301 COMPLETE Translational Research for Practice and Populations.docx Translational Research for Practice and Populations Translational Research for Practice and Populations Introduction Transl... ational research is a critical component of integrating evidence-based studies and practices into utilization. In this paper, I have explored available research of a professional practice related to contraceptive counseling, evaluated the evidence, and discussed translating the information into a practical change that may be implemented in my current work setting. Lastly, I have considered potential barriers and ethical implications related to the changes to ensure the most beneficial outcome. Professional Practice Description There has been a dramatic increase in the number of female Veterans utilizing the national VA healthcare system. According to a recent study by Frayne et al., found in Sourcebook: Women Veterans in the Veterans Health Administration. Volume 4: Longitudinal Trends in Sociodemographics, Utilization, Health Profile, and Geographic Distribution, the number of women Veterans using VA healthcare has increased by 175% between the years of 2000-2015 (2018). Additionally, the same source notes that during this time the number of female Veterans age 18-44 increased 2.1-fold (Frayne et al., 2018). According to a recent study, 62% of women veterans reported current use of contraception, and of the subset of women at risk for unintended pregnancy, 27% of women veterans were not using prescription contraception (Borerro et al., 2017).
