Abstract
In response to Health Canada’s recommendation on the effectiveness of the levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill and weight, it is the SOGC's position that: Women requesting emergency contraception should be advised that scientific evidence shows that for any weight category, insertion of a copper intrauterine device for emergency contraception is more effective than any emergency contraceptive pill. According to a 2011 study, levonorgestrel-only emergency contraception may be less effective in women with a body mass index of 25 to 29 and ineffective in women with a body mass index of 30 and over. This is the basis for the recent Health Canada recommendation to add new warnings to product packages advising that these pills are less effective in women weighing 165 to 176 pounds (75-80 kg) and are not effective in women over 176 pounds (80 kg). However, further research is needed to confirm these findings. Until further evidence is available, women with a body mass index of 30 and over who do not have access to or do not want a Copper intrauterine device for emergency contraception should not be discouraged from using levonorgestrel-only emergency contraception, since it may still provide some benefit.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
