LARC Forward Contraceptive Counseling at MHCC

Summary

This prospective randomized controlled study will evaluate if Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) forward counseling in combination with same-day LARC placement increases overall LARC uptake within a community college population compared to LARC forward counseling and referral to a secondary clinic for LARC placement. The study will be conducted at Mount Hood Community College (MHCC) in Oregon. Participants will be enrolled into three groups. All groups will receive the same standardized contraceptive counseling ("LARC forward counseling") and participants will be able to choose between a LARC method and short-acting method of birth control.
