Right For Me is a study that aims to improve the conversations patients and health care providers have about birth control. Right For Me will test two different strategies for improving these conversations. The first strategy is to give patients a video to watch that encourages them to ask three specific questions in their health care visit, as well as a prompt card that reminds them of the three questions. The second strategy is to give health care providers a set of decision aids that describe available birth control methods, as well as training in how to use them with patients during the health care visit. Right For Me will test whether introducing one or both of these strategies leads to better conversations than providing health care as usual.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Time frame: Immediately after the index health care visit (Time 1 (T1)) [for both pre-implementation and post-implementation participants]
Shared decision-making about contraceptive methods in the health care visit, measured using the three-item CollaboRATE measure (Barr et al., 2014; Elwyn et al., 2013). We used the version of CollaboRATE with a five-point response scale and adopted the binary scoring approach, which yields a score of 0 (no shared decision-making) and 1 (shared decision-making) for each participant. Note: 'pre-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial before clinics began implementing interventions and 'post-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial after clinics began implementing interventions (if relevant).
Time frame: Immediately after the index health care visit (T1) [for both pre-implementation and post-implementation participants]
Whether participants experienced a conversation about contraception in the health care visit, measured using a self-developed item. Note: 'pre-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial before clinics began implementing interventions and 'post-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial after clinics began implementing interventions (if relevant).

Time frame: Immediately after the index health care visit (T1) [for both pre-implementation and post-implementation participants]

Note: 'pre-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial before clinics began implementing interventions and 'post-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial after clinics began implementing interventions (if relevant).
Time frame: 4 weeks after the index health care visit (T2); 6 months after the index health care visit (T3) [for both pre-implementation and post-implementation participants]
Participants' feelings of decision regret about the contraceptive method(s) they intended to use, measured using an adaptation of the five-item Decision Regret Scale (Brehaut et al., 2003; O'Connor, 1996). Note: 'pre-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial before clinics began implementing interventions and 'post-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial after clinics began implementing interventions (if relevant).
Time frame: 4 weeks after the index health care visit (T2); 6 months after the index health care visit (T3) [for both pre-implementation and post-implementation participants]
What, if any, contraceptive method(s) participants used in the last four weeks, measured using a self-developed checklist. Note: 'pre-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial before clinics began implementing interventions and 'post-implementation participants' comprise those enrolled in the trial after clinics began implementing interventions (if relevant).
Time frame: 4 weeks after the index health care visit (T2); 6 months after the index health care visit (T3) [for both pre-implementation and post-implementation participants]
