App vs. doctor: which helps new moms pick birth control?
NCT ID NCT07251569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app for postpartum contraception counseling helps women choose and continue using effective birth control. Researchers compared three groups of new mothers: those using the app, those receiving face-to-face counseling, and those getting routine care. The goal was to see if the app improves method choice, satisfaction, and continuation.
