Abstract
Objectives
Get It & Forget It, an educational video about intrauterine devices (IUDs), was developed
and evaluated.
Study design
A feasibility study and a pre/post evaluation nested within a randomized trial were
conducted to test change in knowledge about IUDs and intention to get an IUD after
viewing a theory-driven dramatic video. Participants (n=315) completed surveys before and after watching the video.
Results
Knowledge about IUD effectiveness increased significantly (33% to 64%, p<.001), as
did intention to use an IUD (18% to 36%, p<.001) postvideo.
Conclusion
An online theory-driven video intervention can reach young women seeking information
about long-acting contraception.
