About this study
Official title: The Feasibility of Providing Family Planning Counseling Services for Women With Chronic Medical Conditions in an Inpatient Setting
Women with chronic medical conditions have been found in multiple studies to use birth control less often compared to women without chronic medical conditions. The investigators hypothesized that approaching women with chronic medical conditions who were admitted to the hospital and having a bedside conversation about pregnancy intention and counseling regarding birth control usage along with offering to start birth control before discharge would increase the use of birth control in this population. As a separate intervention, the investigators hypothesized that having a brief conversation with the participants and then giving them a flyer that recommended talking with their doctor about birth control could also increase the use of birth control in this population.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CounselingBehavioural
Bedside pregnancy intention screening and family planning counseling with offer of bedside contraception initiation.
FlyerBehavioural
Handing flyer to patient that discusses the importance of talking with their doctor about pregnancy intention and contraception use.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Bedside Family Planning Counseling | Experimental | Patient is screened for pregnancy intention and then has a bedside family planning counseling session with the investigator taking into account pregnancy intention, medical conditions, medications, and previous contraception used. At the end of the conversation, if patient is desiring contraception, the patient is offered three contraception options (as appropriate for their medical conditions and paid for as part of the study) to be initiated prior to discharge: Etonogestrel implant, medroxyprogesterone 150 mg IM injection, or a year's supply of oral contraception pills. Receives: Behavioral: Counseling |
| Flyer | Experimental | Patient is given a flyer that recommends they discuss pregnancy intention and contraception with their OB/GYN or primary care physician. Receives: Behavioral: Flyer |
| Routine care | No intervention | Patients receive a deception consent so as not to influence them by the consent process. Consent states that the purpose of the project is to study patterns of birth control usage of women admitted to the hospital. Patient is not given any further intervention. |

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Women with chronic medical conditions have been found in multiple studies to use birth control less often compared to women without chronic medical conditions. The investigators hypothesized that approaching women with chronic medical conditions who were admitted to the hospital and having a bedside conversation about pregnancy intention and counseling regarding birth control usage along with offering to start birth control before discharge would increase the use of birth control in this population. As a separate intervention, the investigators hypothesized that having a brief conversation with the participants and then giving them a flyer that recommended talking with their doctor about birth control could also increase the use of birth control in this population.
