Impact of Video Intervention on Postabortal Uptake of Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) (LARC IUD)

July 25, 2014 updated by: University of Chicago

Primary: To compare rates of immediate postabortal LARC uptake between women exposed to a brief, theory-based, video intervention prior to standard contraceptive counseling and women exposed to standard counseling alone.

Secondary: To identify predictors of immediate postabortal LARC uptake among all participants including the role of:

  • Demographic and reproductive health history variables
  • Baseline decisional balance, self-efficacy and stage of change for contraceptive initiation
