"My Decision" Tubal Sterilization Decision Support Tool

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tubal Sterilization, Women's Health, Contraception, Contraception Behavior, Reproductive Behavior

In brief

This study seeks to test a web-based decision support tool developed to enhance low-income women's ability to make informed decisions about tubal sterilization that align with their preferences, values and reproductive goals. Half of participants will receive usual care, while the other half will use the web-based decision aid plus usual care. The investigators hypothesize that compared to women who receive usual care alone, women randomized to the decision aid arm will have greater knowledge about sterilization and alternative options, lower decisional conflict, and will be more satisfied with their contraceptive decision at 3-month follow-up.
