- Brief Summary
This pilot study will evaluate a computer-based intervention titled "Trauma-informed Personalized Scripts" (TIPS). The goal of this intervention is to improve patient-provider communication about sensitive topics such as intimate partner violence (IPV) and reproductive coercion (RC). The main aim of this study is to pilot test TIPS in family planning clinics using a randomized study design to compare the basic version of TIPS (a computer-based assessment with provider scripts only) to an enhanced TIPS containing a tailored brief intervention for patients along with provider scripts. The investigators plan to recruit 240 female patients ages 16-29 for this study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of intervention delivery by provider Immediately following clinic visit Assessment of delivery of brief intervention previously tested and found to be helpful in family planning clinic settings (Addressing Reproductive Coercion in Health Settings (ARCHES), NCT01459458). Summary score based on patient responses on an after-visit exit survey inquiring about what elements of the intervention the provider discussed during clinic visit
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Difference in pregnancy risk baseline to 4 months 2.1 Change in condom use frequency: Assessment of pregnancy risk reduction through change in frequency of self-reported condom use from baseline to follow-up 2.2 Contraceptive use: Assessment of pregnancy risk reduction through differences in contraceptive use from baseline to follow-up
Change in self-efficacy to enact harm reduction behaviors (mean score) Baseline to 4 months Baseline-adjusted differences in mean post-intervention levels of self-efficacy regarding uptake of harm reduction strategies up to 4 months after baseline clinical encounter
Enacting harm reduction behaviors (summary score) 4 months Summary score of use of any harm reduction strategies, measured by investigator developed items that include a range of harm reduction strategies that women may employ to increase their safety
Change in knowledge of sexual and partner violence related services from baseline to follow up Baseline to 4 months Knowing about specified IPV/SV related services comparing baseline and follow up summary scores
Any use of sexual and partner violence related services 4 months Any use of sexual violence related services (summary score) at 4 month follow up
Change in violence victimization from baseline to follow up Baseline to 4 months Among those reporting exposure to violence (IPV/SV/RC) at baseline, summary score of any recent (past 3 months) violence victimization (including IPV/SV/RC), comparing before intervention to after the intervention
