研究概览
简要总结
This pilot research study will teach patients how to self-remove intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) through an educational video and simulation and evaluate patient perspectives and experiences related to IUD self-removal with two surveys. Patients will be recruited for this study at the time of presentation to the office for IUD removal. After consenting to the procedure, participants will complete a pre-intervention survey, watch a video explaining how to self-remove the IUD, and use two models to simulate IUD removal. After completion of using the models to practice IUD removal, participants will complete a second short survey. The participant will then be given the option of attempting self-removal and be given time to attempt the removal. If the participant elects to have the provider remove their IUD, the provider will do so. At the end of the encounter, participants will fill out a final survey. Research staff will measure the length of the strings of all IUDs prior to routine disposal of the device.

研究组 & 干预措施
Participants consented for IUD removal
Participants will be shown an educational video about IUD self-removal and simulation models. After the video, participants will be given the choice to either attempt IUD self-removal or to have their provider perform standard removal. If a participant elects to attempt self-removal and fails, their provider will offer standard removal.
干预措施: IUD self-removal education (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in proportion of participants who are willing to attempt IUD self-removal
时间窗: baseline, 15-30 minutes
Participants will be asked before and after reviewing the educational video and practicing self-removal through simulation, if they are willing to attempt IUD self-removal. The change in the proportion willing to attempt IUD self-removal will be calculated.
