Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We explored women's preferences for contraceptive education and assess the role of the clinician in delivering this education in three U.S. health centers in 2017-2018. STUDY DESIGN: We recruited women ages 16 to 29 presenting for gynecologic care at 3 clinical sites. Respondents completed a survey about preferences for receipt of contraceptive information and trustworthiness of information sources. RESULTS: We included 270 respondents' surveys (77.6% of approached). Clinicians were the most preferred (87.0%) and trusted (83.5%) source of contraceptive information, and 69.0% said a clinician's recommendation made a source more trustworthy. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians are a trusted source of contraceptive information; their recommendations of other educational resources may improve acceptance by patients.
