About this study

Official title: Targeted Video Messaging About Emergency Contraception Via a Social Media Platform

This research study will assess the real-world effectiveness of Facebook advertising as a strategy to reach women of reproductive age who are at risk of unintended pregnancy with a brief educational intervention about emergency contraception (EC).

Read the detailed description

This research study will assess the real-world effectiveness of Facebook advertising as a strategy to reach women of reproductive age who are at risk of unintended pregnancy with a brief educational intervention about emergency contraception (EC). The investigators will assess whether a video or website link has superior reach, engagement, and return on investment (measured as cost per click) through a Facebook ad campaign. The investigators will also ensure that both modalities of consumer engagement (website and video) are efficacious at ensuring adequate and improved knowledge of emergency contraception through a laboratory-environment trial.

Conditions
Contraception
Being tested
Emergency contraception website, Emergency contraception video

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Emergency contraception websiteOther

    Existing website with factual information about emergency contraception

  • Emergency contraception videoOther

    Existing video with factual information about emergency contraception

Study groups in NCT03774368
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Website about emergency contraceptionOtherSubjects are randomly assigned to view an existing website about emergency contraception. The website contains information about the three methods of emergency contraception: the copper IUD, ulipristal pill, and levonorgestrel pill. It includes information about their relative effectiveness and where to access emergency contraception.
Receives: Other: Emergency contraception website
Video about emergency contraceptionOtherSubjects are randomly assigned to view an existing video about emergency contraception. The video is two minutes in length and contains information about the three methods of emergency contraception: the copper IUD, ulipristal pill, and levonorgestrel pill. It includes information about their relative effectiveness and where to access emergency contraception.
Receives: Other: Emergency contraception video

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Emergency contraception knowledge (binary)

    This outcome is a binary outcome that reflects a participant's ability to correctly identify an emergency contraceptive method, when to use it, and how to access it

    Measured: Immediately after intervention

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Copper IUD as emergency contraception knowledge

    This outcome is a binary outcomes that reflects a participant's ability to correctly identify the copper IUD as emergency contraception, when to use it, and how to access it.

    Measured: Immediately after intervention

  2. Levonorgestrel pill as emergency contraception knowledge

    This outcome is a binary outcomes that reflects a participant's ability to correctly identify the levonorgestrel pill as emergency contraception, when to use it, and how to access it.

    Measured: Immediately after intervention

  3. Ulipristal pill as emergency contraception knowledge

    This outcome is a binary outcomes that reflects a participant's ability to correctly identify the ulipristal pill as emergency contraception, when to use it, and how to access it.

    Measured: Immediately after intervention

  4. Emergency contraception knowledge (continuous)

    This outcome reflects the participant's overall knowledge of emergency contraception after the website or video intervention, as measured by the proportion of questions they get correct on the survey

    Measured: Immediately after intervention

  5. Change in emergency contraception knowledge pre- and post-intervention

    This outcome reflects the participant's change in knowledge of emergency contraception before and after the website or video intervention, as measured by the proportion of questions they get correct on the survey.

    Measured: Immediately before and immediately after intervention

  6. Likelihood of using emergency contraception pre- and post-intervention

    This outcome reflects the participant's likelihood of using emergency contraception both before and after the intervention, as measured on a 6 point likert scale (I would definitely use it, Very likely, Somewhat likely, Somewhat unlikely, Very unlikely, I definitely would NOT use it)

    Measured: Immediately before and immediately after intervention
