Providing family planning counseling services for women with chronic medical conditions in an inpatient setting: A randomized feasibility trial.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of providing bedside family planning services to women with chronic medical conditions in the inpatient setting.

Study Design: We initiated a parallel randomized controlled trial of patients listed as female aged 18 to 44 years who were admitted to the hospital from February 2018 to May 2021 with at least one chronic medical condition associated with lower rates of contraception usage and no documentation of contraception. Patients who confirmed they were not using contraception were enrolled and randomized to one of the three arms.
