Eligible participants will be identified in the prenatal period and will be randomized to one of two groups. The control group will receive the standard of care contraceptive counseling during prenatal counseling. The intervention group will also receive the standard of care contraceptive counseling during prenatal care, but will also watch an evidence-based,12 minute LARC First video created by the CHOICE project which provides information on different contraceptive methods.
