Contraceptive Counseling in the Postpartum Period

Eligible participants will be identified in the post-partum period and will be randomized to
one of two groups. The control group will receive the standard of care contraceptive
counseling which includes any prenatal counseling they received as well as information from
the nurse practitioner that rounds on them in the post-partum period. The intervention group
will also receive the standard of care contraceptive counseling but will also watch a 10
minute video created by the CHOICE project which counsels on different contraceptive
options. Both groups will fill out a pre-intervention questionnaire as well as a
post-intervention questionnaire 24hrs later. The primary outcome will be which type of
contraception each woman chooses. The secondary outcomes will include determining if the
women come to their post-partum visits as well as if they get the method of contraception
they chose on the post-partum floor.
