This is the first year we are presenting the American Family Physician (AFP) Article of the Year Award, which is selected based on the most online views and highest ratings from the AFP editors. Previously, AFP annually presented the Walter Kemp Award from 1986 to 2001, and we are pleased to reintroduce the practice of honoring authors for their excellent scholarly contributions to family medicine.

The 2022 AFP Article of the Year Award goes to Drs. Scott L. Paradise, Corinne A. Landis, and David A. Klein for their article, “Evidence-Based Contraception: Common Questions and Answers,” which was published in the September 2022 issue and is available at https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2022/0900/contraception.html. This article addresses emergency contraception, fertility awareness methods, options for patients with migraines, long-acting reversible contraception, self-administration of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, and contraception considerations for transgender and gender-diverse people.

The award will be presented this month at the FMX Conference in Chicago, Ill., with Dr. Landis accepting.
