Clinical Trial Summary

This study will determine the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of an emergency department-based pregnancy prevention intervention targeting sexually active adolescent female emergency department patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Emergency Departments (ED) care for 15 million adolescents each year. Adolescents who use the ED are at particularly high risk of unintended pregnancy. To date, no intervention has successfully increased contraception use among this high risk, hard-to-reach ED population. In this study, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial of a user-informed, theory-based, personalized, interactive, pregnancy prevention text messaging intervention (Dr. Erica) to determine its feasibility, acceptability and potential efficacy. The investigators hypothesize that high risk adolescent female ED patients who receive Dr. Erica will more often initiate contraceptives than those females who receive standard discharge instructions alone. At baseline and follow-up assessment at 3 months, participants will provide information regarding effective contraception initiation, any contraception at last intercourse, follow up with reproductive preventive health services, and contraception self-efficacy. ;
