UNASSIGNED: At an urban academic hospital, we recruited English-speaking pregnant women aged 15-49 who had access to a video-enabled electronic device. Participants engaged in a standardized 45-minute educational session about contraceptive methods in groups of two to five persons conducted over a video conferencing platform. The primary outcome was participant perceived quality of contraception counseling measured by the Person-Centered Contraception Counseling (PCCC) scale. The secondary outcomes were knowledge change before and after counseling, and postpartum contraception uptake. We used an adjusted multivariable linear regression model to analyze knowledge scores.
UNASSIGNED: Twenty-two participants completed the study. Participants identified primarily as Black or Hispanic/Latinx (78%), in a partnership (50%), having completed college (59%), and having an annual income of less than $50,000 (78%). A total of 77% of participants recorded a perfect score for quality of counseling using the Person-Centered Contraceptive Counseling (PCCC) scale. There was an increase in knowledge after counseling (Mean difference (M)=0.07, p<0.01). Notably, certain subsets of participants had decrease in knowledge scores after counseling. Participants who used postpartum contraception were more likely to have increase in knowledge after counseling compared to those who did not (Mean difference (M)=0.09, p<0.01).
UNASSIGNED: Our findings suggest virtual group contraception counseling is feasible for providing high-quality counseling and can possibly increase contraceptive knowledge.
■在一家城市学术医院,我们招募了年龄在15-49岁之间的能使用视频电子设备的英语孕妇.参与者在视频会议平台上进行了两到五人一组的关于避孕方法的标准化45分钟教育会议。主要结果是通过以人为中心的避孕咨询(PCCC)量表测量的参与者感知的避孕咨询质量。次要结果是咨询前后的知识变化,和产后避孕摄取。我们使用调整后的多变量线性回归模型来分析知识得分。
■22名参与者完成了研究。参与者主要被确定为黑人或西班牙裔/拉丁裔(78%),在合伙企业中(50%),完成大学学业(59%),年收入低于5万美元(78%)。使用以人为中心的避孕咨询(PCCC)量表,共有77%的参与者记录了咨询质量的满分。咨询后知识增加(平均差异(M)=0.07,p<0.01)。值得注意的是,某些亚组参与者在咨询后的知识得分下降.与那些没有使用产后避孕的参与者相比,使用产后避孕的参与者在咨询后更有可能增加知识(平均差异(M)=0.09,p<0.01)。
■我们的研究结果表明,虚拟团体避孕咨询对于提供高质量的咨询是可行的,并且可能会增加避孕知识。
