NCT ID NCT05216003
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called PATH4YOU that helps women get birth control and pregnancy planning support when they need it. The program includes counseling, a decision aid, and same-day access to contraception at clinics. Researchers will enroll 1,200 women aged 18-49 in Indiana to see if the program improves satisfaction and reduces unintended pregnancies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PATH4YOU program (behavioral intervention: counseling, decision aids, same-day contraception access)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help more women access birth control when they want it, reduce unintended pregnancies, and improve maternal and infant health in Indiana.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral program, not a drug or device, so its impact depends on how well clinics and patients adopt it. Results may vary across different communities and may not be generalizable beyond Indiana.
