Peer Influence on Intrauterine Contraceptive Behavior and Attitudes in an Online Social Community
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Interaction with users of IUC and non-IUC users and Interaction with non-IUC users only for Contraception. Completed, enrolled 630 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will look at women's social communication about IUDs (intrauterine devices) and their attitudes and behavior related to IUD use. The researchers will design an online community where women can talk to each other about their experiences with birth control. We will examine whether social exposure to IUD users in this setting is associated with change in attitudes and behavior among women who have never had an IUD.

Interventions
Birth Control Connect is an online community where women will be invited to share their personal experiences with birth control. Birth Control Connect group sessions will last for twelve days. Each day, participants will be prompted to respond to questions in the group (e.g. "If you're using a birth control method right now, how did you choose it?"). Participants will also be able to pose questions to other members of the group and respond to other members' questions. Half of participants in Birth Control Connect intervention groups will be current IUC users.
