Pregnancy at a Time That Is Happy and Healthy for You

Pregnancy at a Time That Is Happy and Healthy for You

In an effort reduce maternal and infant mortality and health disparities overall, PATH4YOU (Pregnancy At a Time that's Healthy and Happy for You) will be implemented starting in Marion County, and will ultimately be a statewide comprehensive contraceptive access program that ensures that patient-centered counseling and same-day access to no (or low) cost contraception are delivered to women across the state. The goal of this project is to partner with community stakeholders to tailor and implement a patient-centered, comprehensive contraceptive access intervention, the PATH4YOU Bundle.

The health center level intervention will consist of three key principles:

1. Pregnancy Intention Screening: Provide training for health care providers and assist in health center implementation of a patient-centered pregnancy intention screening strategy within clinical settings
2. Contraception and Reproductive Health Counseling: Implement the use of a pre-visit patient-centered decision-aid for all patients presenting to a health center for reproductive health care.
3. Same-Day Access to Contraception: Provide training for health care providers and logistical assistance to health centers to implement care consistent with providing patients with their chosen method of contraception the day of patient contact.

Inclusion Criteria for Clinic Level Analysis:

• women age 18-49
• presenting for care at PATH4YOU clinic site
