Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility of Application	Immediately post intervention	Feasibility, acceptability and usability of application. Mean of each item is reported. Each item has a possible score of 1-5, 1 = strongly disagree; 5= strongly agree. Higher scores indicate a better results for all items except "I found the app too complex to understand," "I think I would need tech support to use this app," "I thought there was too much inconsistency in app," "I found the app cumbersome to use," and "I needed to learn a lot before I could get going," where a lower score is a better result.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Prior Method Use	Pre-Survey	Methods of birth control participants have ever used
Patient Activation	Pre-Survey, immediately post intervention	Participant total of 13 Likert-style questions asking about how active a role they have taken in determining their health care. Measurement presented is the sum of 13 Likert items 1-5 to create a scale score. Possible score range from 13-65, with higher scores indicating more activation.
Number of Miscarriages	Pre-Survey	Previous miscarriages, abortions, times pregnant and children participants have
Number of Pregnancies (Including Current)	Pre-Survey
Contraception Knowledge	Pre-Survey	7 questions assessing participant knowledge of different contraception methods
Number of Children	Pre-Survey
Information, Motivation and Behavioral Skills	immediately post intervention	15 questions asking participants about the information, motivation, and behavioral skills they possess relating to spacing pregnancies by 18 months or longer, split into information, motivation, and behavioral self-efficacy variables. Three subscales are presented: information subscale, motivation subscale, and behavioral skills subscale. The information scale is the summed correct answers to 7 questions, possible score 0-7. Motivation subscale is the sum of 6 Likert-type items with values from 1-4, for possible scores of 6-24; higher score is better. Behavioral skills subscale is the sum of 5 Likert-type items with values from 1-5, for possible subscales scores of 5-25; higher score is better.
