What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate whether providing women who wish to avoid future pregnancies with information about tubal sterilization and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) can improve their perceived access to contraceptive options. Participants will complete surveys before and after accessing web-based educational resources that summarize recent patient-centered outcomes research. The study compares outcomes between those using a new educational website and those using an existing resource. The goal is to enhance patient-centered contraceptive care and align contraceptive choices with personal preferences.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could empower women to make informed decisions about their contraceptive options, potentially reducing regret associated with permanent procedures.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown that providing educational resources can improve patient decision-making and satisfaction regarding contraceptive choices.
