Interviews about Long-Acting Reversible Contraception in People with Chronic Medical Conditions

STUDY BASICS

Have you been diagnosed with epilepsy, diabetes, or cystic fibrosis? You may be eligible for a research study to understand decision making about long-acting reversible contraception (such as an IUD or Nexplanon). Participation involves one interview (over Zoom) that lasts about 1 hour. Compensation is provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

Decisions about birth control require a lot of thought, and people with chronic conditions potentially have even more to consider when facing them. The goal of this research study is to understand how people with epilepsy, diabetes, and cystic fibrosis make decisions about long-acting reversible contraception.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT

Participating in this research study involves completing one interview that will:

• Be 1-on-1 with a research assistant,
