Patient-centered Information on Permanent Contraception Study

This study is looking at how different websites providing information about permanent contraception affect women's understanding and perceived access to birth control options. Researchers want to see if a new website, called the Advancing Access Website, which compares tubal sterilization (a permanent surgical procedure to prevent pregnancy) to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC, like IUDs or implants), helps women feel more informed and able to choose the best method for them. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 21 and 45 years old, can get pregnant, strongly want to avoid future pregnancy, and speak English or Spanish. The study aims to see if this new website improves your perceived access to long-acting contraceptives immediately and at 3 months after using it. The study is currently recruiting about 650 participants.

  • Perceived Access to Long Acting ContraceptivesImmediately after introduction to website and at 3 months follow-up

    A 9-item, multi-dimensional measure assessing awareness, availability, accessibility, affordability, and acceptability of contraceptive options including tubal sterilization, vasectomy, the subdermal implant, hormonal intrauterine device, and hormone-free intrauterine device. A summative score ranging from 0 to 48 points will be calculated for each participant at baseline and follow up. Investigators hypothesize there will be greater improvements from baseline to follow up in the intervention than control arm.
