Pilot #2 of Social Network Intrauterine Contraceptive (IUC) Intervention
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Attitudes
In brief
This study has two goals: 1) to test an approach to helping women who use intrauterine contraception (IUC) spread the word about this type of long-lasting, highly effective birth control method among their friends and family and; 2) to test ways of getting in touch with these women's friends and family so that investigators can track whether this approach is effective at spreading birth control information through social groups.
