Evaluating the Impact of CHOICE-AYA on Contraceptive Use, Continuation and Satisfaction
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Contraception Behavior, Sexual Behavior, Reproductive Behavior
In brief
This is a prospective study involving two phases: 1) adaptation and 2) intervention, in adolescents aged 14-21 experiencing homelessness. The overarching goal is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a counselling intervention to improve access to contraception among AYA experiencing homelessness. During the first phase, referred to as the adaption phase, we will rely on collective input from formative groups of AYA experiencing homelessness to adapt the CHOICE counselling intervention for this underserved and under-resourced population. In the second phase, referred to as the intervention phase, we will evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the adapted intervention (CHOICE-AYA).
