About

The goal of this study is to pilot test the IN-Control Birth Control Navigator Program in Central Indiana for use by adolescents who would like to access birth control. The investigators hypothesize that facilitating access to contraception through our intervention will ultimately result in increased feelings of autonomy around these decisions and use of hormonal contraception.

Full description

The IN-Control Birth Control Navigator Program will provide personalized attention to adolescents and young adults and will be able to address self-efficacy skills, and abilities through personal interactions with navigator staff and use of targeted services. Importantly, the navigator can assist participants in overcoming specific environmental barriers (transportation, cost, clinical access) and personal barriers (knowledge and confidentiality concerns) before, during and after the clinical encounter.
