Depo-Provera, Ethiopian Jews, and Black Box Warnings

Dr. Randy Short discusses the forced administration of the contraceptive Depo-Provera to Ethiopian Jewish women in Israel. The conversation shifts to the drug's prevalence in the U.S. black community and the 2004 FDA "black box" warning regarding its severe side effects, including bone density loss and increased HIV susceptibility.
