NCT ID NCT05550064

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether structured counseling during pregnancy helps women use long-acting reversible contraception (like IUDs or implants) after giving birth. About 160 pregnant women in Sweden will receive either the counseling or standard care. The goal is to see if more women use these effective methods six months after delivery, reducing unintended pregnancies.
