J
Jeffrey Peipert, MD

Primary Investigator

Overview

The purpose of this study is to collect data that will help us understand how comprehensive family planning and long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) use relate to reduced infant and maternal health outcomes and mortalities.

Description

Participants will complete a baseline survey with questions regarding demographics, social and behavioral habits, medical history, and knowledge and perceptions about long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) and other birth control options.
Participants can skip any questions at any time, and answers to the questions will be kept private and will not be a part of their medical chart.
Researchers will contact participants 3 times (3, 6, and 12 months later) during the one-year study to update demographic information, social and behavioral habits, and medical history. Researchers will also ask about the status of participants' LARC and reassess knowledge and perceptions about LARC and birth control options.
