Summary

This purpose of this study is determine whether the use of internet technology to communicate with adolescents about contraception is feasible and to determine whether it is more effective than traditional methods. Study subjects will complete baseline and follow-up surveys at 3, 6, and 12 months about their contraceptive practice and sexual behaviors.

Subjects with internet access will be randomized to either completing surveys remotely over the internet through email or to follow-up in clinic on laptop computers.

Our hypothesis is that women who have access to the internet as well as use the internet regularly are more likely to complete follow-up surveys. This will then in turn allow us to get a better understanding of contraceptive practices amongst high risk teens.
