Let's Talk Birth Control for Adolescents

This study is evaluating "Let's Talk Birth Control," an intervention designed to help young women aged 15 to 24 make informed decisions about contraception. The program includes a printed decision aid, counseling, and online resources. The goal is to reduce unprotected sex and increase the use of preferred birth control methods among adolescent patients. We are looking for health centers that serve many young women and don't currently use similar programs. The study aims to enroll 1500 participants, but its current status is unclear.
