Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluation of experiences with fertility, contraception and pregnancy
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of one month
The content of the survey used in the study was created by the research team after reviewing the current literature examining the parameters related to fertility, contraception and pregnancy in women with spinal cord injury. The survey consists closed-ended (e.g., use of a five-point Likert scale to assess whether spinal cord injury affects the decision to have children (Higher scores mean worse outcome)) and open-ended questions (e.g., What is the reason for choosing the contraceptive method used?)
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
