Study Details

The purpose of this study is to understand in what ways the pediatrician's office can support women's family planning by screening for contraceptive needs at each well child visit over the first 12 months of the child's life. Part one of the study will be working with families and clinic-based social needs navigators around where and how the screening process will be integrated into an existing pediatric workflow. Part two of the study will include (a) surveying mothers of 12-15 month olds about contraceptive use experience to get a baseline followed by (b) implementing the screening process into pediatrics and measuring how well the screener is able to identify unmet contraceptive needs and how people are or are not using the screening process. This will occur over approximately 12 months. Part (b) includes enrolling families who have a contraceptive need case and following the case in the child's medical record. At the end of the 12 month intervention the investigators will (c) invite some families to participant in an interview about the experience with the contraceptive need screener. Part three will be focus group feedback from clinicians and staff about the contraceptive need screening process. Part four will be key informant interviews with community stakeholders on the expansion of this screener.
