Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this project is to describe how contraceptive services are currently being delivered to women with medical conditions who seek care in community-based primary care settings, such as family medicine and internal medicine clinical offices.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This pilot study seeks to:

1\. To understand women's beliefs, attitudes, and experiences with contraception in context of their medical conditions, drug therapy, personal preferences, and current experiences in primary care.

b. To describe provider- To describe provider- and practice-level factors that impact the delivery of contraceptive services in primary care.

To seek the perspectives of multiple stakeholders: 1) women aged 18-50 with one or more medical conditions; and 2) practice members who consist of primary care providers (PCPs) and office staff (e.g. nurses, medical assistants, and administrative staff members). The specific objective of this formative, qualitative study is to identify key patient-, provider-, and practice-level factors that are critical to the delivery of contraceptive counseling and services to women with medical conditions.

To accomplish these aims, qualitative data will be collected in clinical settings that currently provide primary care and family planning for reproductive-aged women with medical conditions. Data collected will be: 1) in-depth interviews with women with medical conditions and practice members; and 2) semi-structured observations of office activities and processes (e.g. patient check in, patient scheduling).

Using rigorous qualitative mixed methods to collect and analyze data, a deeper understanding will be gained of factors that should be considered in the design and implementation of future interventions to improve contraceptive care for women with medical conditions in primary care.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Able to speak English
* Able to give informed consent
* Have at least one significant medical condition (defined as any condition that requires medication management and/or active monitoring, like hypertension, diabetes) that would pose greater than average risk to the woman during pregnancy, including the use of medications that could be associated with potential fetal harm in the event of unplanned pregnancy (defined as medications that are Pregnancy Category C, D, or X).


To be eligible for the study, the practice member must meet all the following criteria:

* Age 18 or older
* Able to speak English
* Able to give informed consent
* Indirectly or directly involved with patient care

Primary Practices:

To be eligible for the study, primary care practices must meet all the following criteria:

* currently provide primary care services to reproductive-aged women aged 18-45
* currently provide prescriptions for birth control and/or provide insertion/removal of contraceptive devices (the intrauterine device or sub-dermal implant) on site OR refer patients to another site.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded:

* surgically or medically sterile or whose current male partner(s) are surgically or medically sterile
* females under 18 years are excluded because prior literature has shown that their healthcare and pregnancy-related experiences differ substantially enough from those of adult women.
