Innovative Model of Patient-Centered ConTraception

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Contraception, Unintended Pregnancy

In brief

This study is testing models of contraceptive care that were developed as part of the Contraceptive CHOICE Project. CHOICE is a prospective cohort study of 9,256 women designed to: 1) promote the use of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods which include interuterine devices (IUD) and subdermal implants; 2) remove financial barriers to contraception; 3) evaluate continuation of and satisfaction with reversible methods; and 4) reduce unintended pregnancies in the St. Louis region. CHOICE demonstrated that interventions such as comprehensive contraceptive counseling, increased access, and removal of financial barriers increase the uptake of LARC methods and reduce unintended pregnancy. The investigators objective is to determine whether the CHOICE model of contraceptive care can be equally successful in the real world of community clinics.
