Contraceptive Awareness and Reproductive Education

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Number of Participants With Continuous Use of Highly Effective Contraceptives Over 9 Months.

  Using the Timeline Followback (TLFB): Contraceptive use was measured via a calendar recall for both interventions.Continuous use of highly effective contraceptives at 9 Month follow up is determined if a participant remains on a highly effective contraceptive for 9 months. A participant switching from one highly effective contraceptive method to another is recorded as maintaining continuous contraceptive use at follow-up if she switches methods during times when the original method is still effective.

  9 month follow-up

• Number of Participants With a Positive STI Test After A Baseline Negative Test.

  Conducted STI testing for T. vaginalis, N. gonorrhoeae, and C. trachomatis through urine specimen collection. If a participant is diagnosed with an STI at baseline the youth will be referred for treatment at a Title X clinic and will be retested at the next follow-up visit. Any positive test after a baseline negative test will be documented as an incident infection.

  9 month follow-up

• Number of Participants Who Initiated a Highly Effective Contraceptive Post Treatment in 9 Months.

  Using the Timeline Followback (TLFB): The types of contraceptives used was captured via a calendar recall for both interventions. Initiation of highly effective contraceptives is determined if a participant ever endorses beginning a highly effective contraceptive at any time within 9 months.
