Low-income women are less likely to use the most effective methods of birth control, new research from UBC has found. In the higher-income group, 13.3 per cent used just condoms, as opposed to 18.9 per cent of the lower-income group. And when people have to pay out of pocket for their birth control, the costs are often significant. The pill, considered around 91 per cent effective with typical use, can often be about $50 a month.
