- The study aimed to evaluate whether a video intervention based on behavioral change theory could increase post-abortion adoption of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) among young women.
- Participants, aged 18-29, were randomly assigned to watch either the intervention video about LARC or a stress management control video, both lasting 7 minutes.
- Results showed similar rates of LARC initiation between both groups (59.6% for the intervention and 51.6% for the control), indicating that the video intervention did not significantly impact LARC adoption rates post-abortion.
