Debunking Myths About Contraceptive Safety Among Women in Kingston, Jamaica

NCT03775642 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 225

Summary

The primary hypothesis is that the intervention video - based on strategies from cognitive psychology - can correct women's misinformation about long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and result in higher use of LARC. While there are no direct benefits to participants from being in the study, the research could benefit women in general by providing evidence to help prevent unintended pregnancy. Unlike many interventions that are not feasible for scaling up once shown to be effective in changing people's behavior, the proposed intervention has been carefully designed to impose a low burden to clinic staff and require few resources for translating to wider use. Thus, the investigators expect the intervention to have high potential for influencing clinical care and research for addressing the overall goal of reducing unintended pregnancy.

Conditions

  • Contraception Behavior

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention video

The intervention video will employ the debiasing strategies. It will avoid directly articulating contraception-related myths, but instead will provide a limited number of alternative explanations related to IUD and implant safety.

BEHAVIORAL

Control video

The video for the control arm will consist of an existing, public-use video on a non-contraception topic of similar duration
