Abstract

Each year, over 9.5 million young people (18-24 years old) contract sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and report 2.8 million unintended pregnancies in the United States. Young people's perception of sexual risk is often misinformed, leading to risky decisions and behaviors. Current contraceptive decision aids do not provide women with sufficient information to make an informed decision about contraceptive choices. This novel online approach guides women in assessing their own risk and helps them identify contraceptive preferences prior to counseling. Therefore, we propose to develop a reproductive health patient decision aid that addresses sexual health behaviors, risks, and presents contraceptive options in plain language and evaluate said decision aid using patient-reported and clinical outcomes.
