What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| spinal cord injury group | The evaluation of experiences of women with spinal cord injury regarding fertility, contraception and pregnancy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Evaluation of experiences with fertility, contraception and pregnancy
The content of the survey used in the study was created by the research team after reviewing the current literature examining the parameters related to fertility, contraception and pregnancy in women with spinal cord injury. The survey consists closed-ended (e.g., use of a five-point Likert scale to assess whether spinal cord injury affects the decision to have children (Higher scores mean worse outcome)) and open-ended questions (e.g., What is the reason for choosing the contraceptive method used?)
Measured: through study completion, an average of one month
