A Patient-Directed Computerized Intervention to Address Reproductive Coercion

In a self-administered survey, all patients are asked: Imagine you wanted to keep your birth control private. Which of the following birth control methods are more difficult for other people (like a partner) to mess with or control? (select all that apply). Seven types of birth control methods are provided.

In a self-administered survey, all patients are asked: Imagine you wanted to keep your birth control private. Which of the following birth control methods are more difficult for other people (like a partner) to mess with or control? (select all that apply). Seven types of birth control methods are provided. The correct answers include birth control implant, injectable birth control, intrauterine device, and sterilization. Incorrect answers include birth control pills, condoms, and withdrawal. A measure of change will be created by subtracting the number of correct methods 3 months after interacting with BRIDGES minus the number of correct methods before interacting with BRIDGES. A value of 0 will signify that knowledge remained the same; a positive value will signify that knowledge increased; a negative value will signify that knowledge decreased.

In a self-administered survey, all patients are asked: TRUE or FALSE: Pressuring a partner to become pregnant when they don't want to be can be a sign of an unhealthy relationship. The correct answer is true.

In a self-administered survey, all patients are asked: TRUE or FALSE: Pressuring a partner to become pregnant when they don't want to be can be a sign of an unhealthy relationship. The correct answer is true. A measure of change will be created that compares the answer to this question before and three months after interacting with BRIDGES. If the response is true at both time points or was false before and true after, it would signify an improvement in knowledge.

In a self-administered survey, all patients are asked about their level of reproductive autonomy based on a validated 14-item measure which included three subscales that encompass reproductive autonomy including communication, freedom from coercion, and decision-making. Mean scores were calculated for each subscale by adding the value of the response choice for each item on the subscale and dividing this value by the number of items on the subscale. Higher scores on each subscale represented higher levels of RA (score ranges from 0 to 14). A measure of change will be created that compares the answer to this question before and three months after their appointment.
