Mother's Time is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tool designed to support postpartum women experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of stress, depression or anxiety. The intervention is designed for use by Ethiopian community health workers (CHWs) and includes CBT exercises and discussion on topics relating to family planning, such as planning for the future, speaking to the husband, and considering potential side effects. The primary objective of this research is to test the efficacy of Mother's Time, on mild to moderate symptoms of postpartum stress, anxiety, and depression as well as associated behavioral and social barriers to postpartum family planning, specifically among women under 25 who have given birth within the last year.
This study continues an adaptation of care coordination to address the needs of women after preterm birth. This is a small single arm open trial designed to test intervention implementation and refine the intervention before ongoing feasibility testing.
Family planning (FP) is the most supported, reasonable public health service to prevent both maternal and newborn mortality and decrease the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal, and infant outcomes. The World Health Organization's (WHO) recommend of waiting at least 2 years after a live birth before attempting the next pregnancy as short interval between pregnancies increase risk of preterm labor; low birth weight; fetal, early neonatal and infant death; and serious maternal outcomes.
The overall goal of this study is to refine and pilot test the investigators novel intervention to offer contraception counseling and initiation for hospitalized female adolescents, focusing on long acting reversible contraception (LARC).
The purpose of this study is tu assess the influence of oral contraceptives (OC) on diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC) in healthy women, tested during high, low endogenous estrogens sessions and ovulatory period.
This study seeks to develop and evaluate a multi-level intervention to satisfy couples' unmet need for family planning in rural Uganda. The study will evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention at increasing contraceptive uptake and continuation and improving intermediate outcomes of knowledge, attitudes, perceived community norms, partner communication and equity among couples in rural Uganda.
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.
This study used a randomized controlled design to evaluate the efficacy of a new mobile app, Pulse, in reducing the incidence of unprotected sex among young women. Pulse is a web-based mobile health application that can be accessed through mobile smartphones and computers. Pulse was designed to increase highly effective birth control use and reproductive and sexual health care utilization, and ultimately decrease teen pregnancy. The sample was comprised of 2,317 women aged 18-20 who, at enrollment, were not pregnant or trying to become pregnant, had daily access to a smartphone, were currently living in the United States or a U.S. territory, and spoke English. Most of the sample (86%) identified as Black and/or Latinx. The evaluation team enrolled participants over a two and a half year enrollment period using social media, including Facebook and Instagram. Users accessed Pulse autonomously, on their own terms, and in their own time and place. The app consists of 6 sections and includes 3 hours of unique content. It does not require the user to follow a specific sequence of content viewed; however, all users received a monetary incentive after registering with the app. Young women randomized to the intervention condition were given access to Pulse indefinitely and received daily text messages related to sexual health for 6 weeks. Control participants were directed to a free general health/fitness web-based mobile application, also called Pulse, and received text messages related to general health for 6 weeks. The control and treatment apps look and feel similar aesthetically but contain different content. Participants in both the intervention and comparison groups received a baseline survey, a 6-week follow-up survey, and a 6-month follow-up survey (the 6-month follow-up survey was only administered to participants recruited between November 2018 and March 2019). Participants also received incentives for completing the baseline and post-intervention surveys. Both surveys were conducted online via an electronic survey platform. This study was conducted as a Rigorous Evaluation of New or Innovative Approaches to Prevent Teen Pregnancy funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Adolescent Health.
The purpose of this study is to use an electronic survey to explore Solid Organ Transplant patients' contraceptive knowledge and counseling. The results from this survey will be used to help identify awareness gaps to potentially develop targeted interventions for comprehensive education.
