Could a simple screening at baby checkups help mothers get the birth control they need?
NCT ID NCT07064837
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a Spanish-language screening program called Conecta that asks mothers about their contraceptive needs during their baby's first-year well-child visits. The program also connects them to social services and tracks how well it identifies unmet needs. Researchers will survey mothers, interview families and staff, and compare results to past data to see if the screening improves access to family planning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a Spanish-language contraceptive need screening and referral process called Conecta Familia, bundled with social needs navigation and a developmental screener
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help pediatric clinics identify and address unmet contraceptive needs in mothers, improving family planning access and coordination.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site implementation study with no control group for the intervention phase, so results may not apply broadly. The screening relies on self-report and may not capture all needs.
