Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of "BRIDGES" (Building Reproductive Decision-Making, Empowerment, \& Support), a new patient-directed educational website (bridges4support.org). BRIDGES aims to improve family planning (FP) patients' understanding of reproductive coercion (RC) and harm-reduction strategies, as well as their ability to discuss RC-related issues with healthcare providers if they so choose. Designed to be integrated into routine FP clinical care and pre-visit materials, this brief (5-10 minute) educational website includes 1) education on reproductive coercion and (un)healthy relationships, 2) harm-reduction and safety planning strategies, and 3) patient activation messages to encourage patients to actively engage with their healthcare provider. Four study clinics were selected from Planned Parenthood of Michigan (PPMI) clinics based on patient volume and number of clinics. Two of the four chosen clinics will be randomly assigned to receive BRIDGES, with 40 participants per clinic, and the other two clinics will be randomly assigned to receive the standard of care, also with 40 participants per clinic. Control clinics will receive the standard of care, which includes the typical support and counseling provided at these centers for FP patients, and the intervention clinics will receive BRIDGES plus standard of care. Research staff will recruit FP patients ages 18-29 (N=160) through patient portal messages. Participants will complete online, self-directed Qualtrics surveys at three time points: pre-appointment, post-appointment, and 3-months. Survey data will be used to assess differences in patient knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior between patients attending intervention clinics and patients attending control FP clinics (i.e., receiving standard-of-care FP services). Feasibility, implementation, and pilot outcome data will be used to further refine the intervention towards the goal of conducting a future larger-scale study of BRIDGES within FP clinics.
