Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a contraception decision aid mobile application on: (a) decisional conflict, (b) reproductive health self-efficacy, (c) contraceptive and reproductive health literacy, and (d) contraceptive use intentions.
Detailed Description
After being informed about the study and the potential risks, all participants giving written informed consent will be randomly assigned in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) in a 1:1 ratio to complete an interactive contraception decision aid health questionnaire (Tuune) or a standard medical questionnaire (Control). After, all participants will be asked questions assessing: (a) decisional conflict, (b) reproductive health self-efficacy, (c) contraceptive and reproductive health literacy, and (d) contraceptive use intentions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Decisional Conflict
Time Frame: Immediately upon completion of the assigned health questionnaire.
Decisional conflict about contraceptive use will be measured using a modified version of the "Traditional Decisional Conflict Scale" to assess decisional conflict about birth control use. The modified version of this scale is a 13-item measure utilizing a 1-7 rating scale (1 = strongly disagree \| 7 = strongly agree) asking participants about their decisional conflict with respect to birth control. Higher scores on this scale indicate less decisional conflict about birth control use. A full list of items can be viewed on the Open Science Framework, here: https://osf.io/t4sq2/ References: O'Connor AM (1995). Validation of a decisional conflict scale. Medical Decision Making, 15(1), 25-30. doi: 10.1177/0272989X9501500105.
Reproductive Health Self-Efficacy
Time Frame: Immediately upon completion of the assigned health questionnaire.
Reproductive health self-efficacy will be measured using a modified version of the "Menstrual Attitudes Questionnaire". The modified version is a 9-item measure utilizing a 1-7 rating scale (1 = strongly disagree \| 7 = strongly agree) asking participants about their menstrual cycle and hormonal self-efficacy. Higher scores indicate lower reproductive health self-efficacy. A full list of items can be viewed on the Open Science Framework, here: https://osf.io/t4sq2/ References: Brooks-Gunn, J., \& Ruble, D. N. (1980). The Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire. Psychosomatic Medicine, 42(5), 503-512. https://doi.org/10.1097/00006842-198009000-00005
Contraceptive Use Intentions
Time Frame: Immediately upon completion of the assigned health questionnaire.
Contraceptive use intentions will be measured by asking participants to rate their likelihood of using hormonal birth control in the next week, month, and year. Each question will be measured on a 1-7 scale (1 = extremely unlikely to use \| 7 = extremely likely to use). Higher scores indicate higher use intentions.

Reproductive Health and Contraceptive Knowledge
Time Frame: Immediately upon completion of the assigned health questionnaire.
Reproductive health and contraceptive knowledge will be measured using the following 6-item, 1-7 rating scale (1 = strongly disagree \| 7 = strongly agree). Higher scores indicate greater reproductive health and contraceptive knowledge. A full list of items can be viewed on the Open Science Framework, here: https://osf.io/t4sq2/
