Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the use of a contraceptive decision support tool in the abortion care
setting.
Study design
In 2019, Mississippi residents aged 18 to 45 used a tablet-based decision support
tool at the consultation visit and completed a survey about their satisfaction with
the tool.
Results
Among the 325 participants, the majority found the tool “very helpful” for method
decision-making (86%) and considered the amount of information provided to be “just
right” (95%). Nearly all (98%) reported it was acceptable to get contraception information
at their visit.
Conclusions
Decision support tools are a promising, person-centered strategy to support postabortion
contraceptive information needs.
