简要总结
This is a prospective observational cohort study that will include SBHC patients at the 6 participating SBHCs who receive a reproductive health visit as part of their care in a setting where telehealth-supported care is available. Information will be collected during patient interviews in the follow-up observation period regarding LARC initiation, satisfaction and continuation.
Aim 1. Quantify uptake of LARC (contraceptive implant, IUD) within the SBHC network following implementation of telehealth-supported LARC provision.
Aim 2: Describe the implementation of telehealth-supported long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) service provision in school-based health centers (SBHCs) using mixed methods.
Aim 3: Quantify LARC continuation, as in absolute continuation rate 12 months post-initiation, with analyses also examining continuation at 6 months follow-up period, among LARC initiators within the SBHC network following implementation of telehealth-supported LARC provision.
Aim 4: Compare continuation rates across dimensions of telehealth experience.
详细描述
Long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are safe and effective for adolescents, but low rates of use among this population and early discontinuation due to method dissatisfaction limits their potential to reduce unintended pregnancy. Reducing barriers for obtaining LARCs by adolescents who want to use them is key in reducing risk of unintended pregnancy. Data will be collected from patients who are receiving same-day LARC as a part of their normal care via telehealth services in school-based health centers (SBHCs). This implementation model, therefore, has the potential for replication and scale-up with wide reach. The findings from this study, given the SBHC setting, have the potential to inform and improve LARC service delivery for adolescents far beyond New York City and the SBHC setting.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Telehealth and Non-Telehealth LARC Device Initiations Within the SBHC Network
时间窗: Up to 20 months
Among all patients who had a visit for contraceptive counseling, quantify the number of telehealth LARC consultations and LARC initiations overall, and compare by LARC type (contraceptive implant vs. IUD) using data collected from patient interviews.
Percentage of Patients Reported Being Satisfied With Telehealth-supported Care
时间窗: Up to 20 months
A qualitative interview and a quantitative survey will be used to assess LARC patients' experience and satisfaction with telehealth-supported care. Patients will be assessed by investigator as satisfied or not satisfied based on their responses.
LARC Continuation Rate Over a Follow-up Period Among LARC Initiators Within the SBHC Network Following Implementation of Telehealth-supported LARC Provision
时间窗: At 6 months post LARC initiation
Using EHR data for all patients who initiated LARC, investigator will use Kaplan-Meier survival curves to assess LARC discontinuation overall. Continuation rate will be expressed as a percentage at 6 months post-initiation, and using Kaplan-Meier curves to model discontinuation.
