Evaluation of an Intervention to Increase Post-abortion LARC Uptake.

Ei väliintuloa: Standart of Care

Standard of care at the clinic is to discuss the abortion procedure without specific contraceptive counseling given prior to the day of abortion procedure.

Kokeellinen: Contraceptive education prior to abortion

Addition (to the standard or care) of a brief phone contraceptive education with optional financial counseling referral prior to abortion visit.

Käyttäytyminen: Contraceptive education prior to abortion

Contraceptive education script will be delivered over the phone prior to abortion visit.

Proportion of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) methods inserted immediately post abortion in the intervention and standard of care arms.

Proportion of LARC methods inserted immediately post abortion in the intervention and standard of care arms will be calculated based on data abstracted from patients' medical records.

Proportion of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) methods used in the intervention and standard of care arms three months post abortion.

This outcome is inclusive of immediate initiators and those who initiate by three months. Proportion of LARC methods used in the intervention and standard of care arms will be calculated based on the 3-month follow-up phone interview.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of the study intervention.

The cost-effectiveness analysis will involve multiple parts. The study team will initially complete a cost description of the interventions involving time spent in developing the scripts for LARC education and financial counseling, and additional time spent making contact with women and providing the augmented counseling compared to the initial pre-communication session.Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios for the intervention overall will be calculated compared to a 'base-case' of standard of care in the primary analysis. This value will provide cost per additional women using LARC. In a secondary analysis, the study team will compare differences between women receiving the educational component only versus 'base-case', and also women receiving the educational and financial counseling component versus 'base-case'.
