This award funds a study to create and evaluate a web-based decision aid to reduce disparities in vasectomy knowledge and access among men in the US, focusing on informed contraceptive decision making and care navigation.
Description
The project aims to develop a web-based decision aid to support informed decisions about vasectomy among men, especially targeting disparities in knowledge and access. The study will build a patient-facing web-based decision aid, assess its impact on vasectomy knowledge and decisional conflict in a randomized controlled trial with 750 men, and identify modifiable factors to obtaining a desired vasectomy and strategies to address them.
