Clinical Trial Summary

Pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of "SexHealth Mobile" and improve access to highly effective contraception among women with substance use disorder (SUD) with "SexHealth Mobile" intervention. This intervention will consist of two existing services that will help reach women with or recovering from SUD and provide access to contraception, as well as counseling.

Description:

Pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of "SexHealth Mobile" and improve access to highly effective contraception among women with substance use disorder (SUD) with "SexHealth Mobile." Our study will follow a quasi-experimental design that uses an interrupted time series (i.e., usual care [control] then intervention care) to compare the uptake of contraception before and after implementing the "SexHealth Mobile" intervention.

"SexHealth Mobile" integrates two existing services in our community: a mobile medical unit (MMU) operated by Swope Health Services and "SexHealth" a point-of-care contraception counseling service that our research team developed for Children's Mercy Hospital's emergency department (ED) for adolescents. Using a menu of adaptive services, "SexHealth Mobile" will bring contraceptive care to women with SUD (including the subset with opioid use disorder [OUD]) at recovery centers in the Kansas City community.

Our primary hypothesis is that the current use of highly effective contraception will be greater at 1-month post-enrollment among women recruited during the intervention period (i.e., "SexHealth Mobile") compared to those recruited during the usual care period. The current use and discontinuation of contraception will also be compared at 2-weeks and 3-months.

Our approach consists of enrolling (n=170) eligible women are accessing health, recovery, or community services at a site we identified in our formative research work. We will aim to recruit up to 85 women during the usual care period and 85 during the intervention period. We will follow-up with participants at 2-weeks, 1-month, and 3-months after the enrollment date.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• SexHealth Mobile
It will integrate two existing services in our community: a mobile medical unit (MMU) operated by Swope Health Services, and "SexHealth" a point-of-care contraception counseling service that our research team developed for Children's Mercy Hospital's emergency department (ED). Using a menu of adaptive services, "SexHealth Mobile" will bring contraceptive care to women with SUD (including a subset of women with OUD), if they wish to receive it, at targeted recovery sites Swope currently partners with.
