ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to provide contraceptive counseling through telemedicine, which means using technology like smartphones to give advice and support remotely. The goal is to help women access and use contraception after having an abortion more easily. The trial will take place in South Africa and Kenya, and researchers are comparing this telemedicine approach to standard in-person counseling to see which is more effective.

To be eligible for the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, seeking either a surgical or medical abortion, and able to communicate in spoken and written English. They should also have a private smartphone to participate. If you join this study, you can expect to receive guidance on contraception through a telemedicine service, which could be a convenient option for you. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it’s a great opportunity to contribute to important research that could improve contraceptive access for women in the future.
