Brief Summary
Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial of women taking category D or X medications seen in family medicine, internal medicine or in the Coumadin Clinic. Women in the intervention group will receive an electronic medical record referral for teratogen counseling and contraceptive counseling with a follow up contraceptive provision appointment. The contraceptive counseling will be adapted from The Contraceptive CHOICE Project script and promote the use of the long acting reversible contraception. The women in the control group will also receive an electronic medical record referral and receive the teratogen counseling but only be told that it is important to avoid becoming pregnant. An initial survey will assess contraceptive knowledge and utilization. In addition, there will be telephone survey at 3 months and 6 months to assess contraceptive utilization and continuation.
