IUD Self-Removal: Evaluating an Online Guide for Self-removal in Clinical and Non-clinical Settings

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: IUD, Contraception

In brief

Investigators previously developed a guide to help people with IUD self-removal. In this randomized study, the goal is to see if this guide makes it easier for IUD-users to remove their own IUDs. The main question the study aims to answer is: -Does use of the previously developed IUD self-removal guide increase rates of self removal? Participants will: * Complete a pre-study survey * Be randomized to self-removal with use of the guide or no additional resource * Self-select participation at home or in clinic * Attempt IUD self-removal either at home or in clinic * Complete a post-study survey. Investigators will compare rates of successful self-removal between those randomized to the guide to those randomized to no additional resource to see if increases success.
