About

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if the implementation of a multimedia based educational tool and regular reminders with shared decision-making will increase the rate of LARC uptake and retention in high risk pregnancy patients within 12 weeks of delivery and to study the rates of retention of LARC at 12 and 24 months and short-interval pregnancy rates.

Full description

This study will include 380 women aged 18-50 enrolled between 28 weeks gestation and postpartum day #1 who have a pregnancy that is considered high-risk. After consent, participants will be randomized to either routine care or multimedia based intervention. The intervention will include an investigator created decision aid presented at the time of randomization and reminder texts until 12 weeks postpartum.

The primary objective is to evaluate the rate of LARC uptake and retention within 12 weeks of delivery. Secondary objectives include i) the retention of LARC at 12 and 24 months and ii) short-interval pregnancy rates.
