Abstract

Objectives: Get It & Forget It, an educational video about intrauterine devices (IUDs), was developed and evaluated.

Study design: A feasibility study and a pre/post evaluation nested within a randomized trial were conducted to test change in knowledge about IUDs and intention to get an IUD after viewing a theory-driven dramatic video. Participants (n=315) completed surveys before and after watching the video.

Results: Knowledge about IUD effectiveness increased significantly (33% to 64%, p<.001), as did intention to use an IUD (18% to 36%, p<.001) postvideo.

Conclusion: An online theory-driven video intervention can reach young women seeking information about long-acting contraception.

Keywords: Contraception; Intrauterine devices; Social learning theory; Spanish-language intervention; Video intervention.
