The goal of this trial is to learn if a web-based decision aid designed to provide evidence-based information about vasectomy and other birth control options helps improve users' decision-making about birth control. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do people who use the decision aid have better knowledge about vasectomy? * Do people who use the decision aid have lower conflict with their decision? Participants will: * Use the decision aid (if they are assigned to the intervention arm). * Answer survey questions about their knowledge, decision-making, interest in vasectomy, and healthcare navigation experiences.

This study aims to evaluate long-term outcomes when the etonogestrel contraceptive implant is inserted at an alternative site located over the scapular. The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (i.e., drug levels) and side effect profiles of participants who have an etonogestrel contraceptive implant inserted at this alternative scapular site over the course of at least two years.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.

Maternal mortality in the United States is higher than in peer nations and has not decreased since 1990. Beyond mortality, severe maternal mortality impacts far too many women. Not only are these high rates alarming, but notable racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities exist. These inequities are highly regional, with women living in the rural southeast part of the United States, including the Mississippi Delta, having the highest rates of maternal mortality and morbidity. Unfortunately, these disparities have proven to be stubbornly resistant to interventions, necessitating an innovative multifaceted approach focused on community practice, building trust, and prioritizing patient voices. To meet this need, this proposal aims to establish the Mississippi Delta Research Center of Excellence for Maternal Health with the goal of addressing preventable maternal mortality, decreasing severe maternal morbidity, and promoting maternal health equity in partnership with the Mississippi Delta community. This patient-clinical linkages intervention study will evaluate the effectiveness of a multilevel and multisector communication and health literacy strategy to increase trust and engagement in postpartum healthcare among women in the Mississippi Delta, with a specific focus on Black women, their families, and their communities. These research projects both have the overarching goal of partnering with the community to determine and meet the needs of pregnant and postpartum women in the Mississippi Delta and address the disparities within maternity health and health care outcomes.

This trial is testing Ovaprene, a ring placed inside the vagina to prevent pregnancy without hormones. It aims to see how well it works, how safe it is, and if women find it acceptable. The study focuses on women who want a non-hormonal birth control option.

This trial is testing FemBloc, a procedure to block fallopian tubes and prevent pregnancy. It targets women who want a permanent form of birth control. The procedure works by stopping eggs from reaching the uterus. FemBloc is a procedure designed to block fallopian tubes and prevent pregnancy, similar to other permanent contraception methods.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among adult patients who screen positive to one or more risky alcohol or substance use behaviors while seeking care at a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does SBIRT impact patients' alcohol and substance use, SRH, mental health, physical health, quality of life, and wellbeing? * Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and urbanicity? * Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by delivery mode (in-person vs. telemedicine)? Participants will receive in-person and telemedicine SBIRT, or usual care. Participants will complete surveys at interviews at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months. Researchers will compare patients who received SBIRT to patients who receive usual care to see if patients who receive the SBIRT intervention have a greater reduction in negative outcomes as compared to those who receive usual care. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.

The investigators propose a single site, single arm, open label mechanism of action pharmacodynamic pilot study of etonogestrel implant insertion prior to an luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. The investigators will evaluate ovulation rates via serum levels of reproductive hormones and transvaginal ultrasound findings following placement of an etonogestrel implant once the dominant follicle reaches a size of 15mm or greater, but prior to an LH surge, in persons with prior documented regular cycles and confirmed ovulation. The researchers' hypothesis is that ovulation will be inhibited if the etonogestrel implant is placed prior to an LH surge. Based on data from the Food and Drug Administration label for Nexplanon, etonogestrel rises to levels associated with ovulation suppression within 8 hours of placement. Given this rapid increase, it is therefore plausible to assume that ovulation can be inhibited by the implant if placed prior to an LH surge. This study is novel as there have been no published studies evaluating an etonogestrel implant for this indication. The contribution of this proposed research to the literature is significant because current recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding timing of etonogestrel implant placement are stringent and not patient-centered. Any day insertion of the etonogestrel implant is supported by retrospective data and this pharmacodynamic data would further support the literature for any day insertion without the need for additional emergency contraception. If results support the investigators' hypothesis, it could increase access to contraception and decrease duplicative therapy.

This trial tests MyPath, a tool designed to help women with substance use disorders make better decisions about birth control after giving birth. MyPath helps women think about their plans for more children, learn about their health, and choose the best birth control method for them. The goal is to improve their reproductive health outcomes by aligning contraceptive choices with their personal goals.

To assess the contraceptive efficacy (prevention of pregnancy) of LevoCept

This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the FemBloc Permanent Contraceptive System and compare two methods (ultrasound and fluoroscopic imaging) for confirming that the fallopian tubes are successfully blocked.

The PREVENT Project is a multifaceted, adolescent friendly, culturally competent program aimed to address the issues surrounding unplanned pregnancies and lack of access and uptake of contraceptive services among adolescent girls. The intervention uses a mobile platform that provides educational SMS (Short Message Service) messaging, interactive voice response, and connects adolescent girls to community based AFSRH (Adolescent Friendly Sexual Reproductive Health) counselling services, as well as discreet contraceptive access points headed by female entrepreneurs. The program will be piloted for 12 months in various wards and villages in rural and urban Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.The acceptability and practicality of the intervention will be assessed using mixed methods. Questionnaires and focus groups will be conducted with the study participants, as well as the medical and non-medical volunteers at the start and end of the pilot. The study will be heavily supported by all-female non-medical social entrepreneurs and sexual reproductive health community mentors (volunteers), and, all-female medical reproductive health team. Recruitment will also take place in hair saloons (local hair braiding and styling establishments) and other female run business such as tailors and female clothing stores that have enlisted to become contraceptive access points in the study. There will be 2 intervention groups, control and case group. Both groups will receive educational SMS (text) messages on SRH (Sexual Reproductive Health) and access individually tailored educational resources through interactive voice response (IVR) services/system via PREVENT mobile platform. In addition to personal support to be able to contact with a SRH community peer mentor in the community for AFSRH counselling and support. The case group will then have access to contraception provided with detailed and discreet information on accessing PREVENT contraceptive access points in all communities included in the study.
