Effectiveness of a Patient Decision Aid in Immediate Postpartum Contraceptive Counseling

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Contraception

In brief

Effective physician-patient communication in postpartum contraceptive counseling is essential for patients to meet their contraceptive needs and reduce the risk of rapid repeat pregnancies. This project will utilize a patient decision aid to facilitate shared decision making in the immediate postpartum setting, assess the effectiveness of such aid in "decision quality" and "decision-making process quality", and observe its effects on contraceptive choice mix at the time of discharge.
