5 Clinical Trials for Sterilization
The goal of this survey and interview study is to learn about patient experience consenting for permanent contraception using the Medicaid Title XIX Sterilization Consent form. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To explore patient perspectives on and understanding of the current consenting process for obtaining permanent contraception as it relates to the Medicaid Title XIX Sterilization consent form. * To explore patient experience with the current consenting process, and thoughts regarding the ideal consenting process including how it would differ from the one currently in place, if at all. Participants will complete a 10-15 minute survey and be offered participation in an in-depth one-on-one interview.
One in three women of reproductive age utilize tubal sterilization for contraception, and sterilization is often requested at time of cesarean delivery. Complete salpingectomy for the purpose of permanent sterilization at the time of cesarean birth is increasingly being performed worldwide. A preferred complete salpingectomy technique for the purpose of sterilization at the time of cesarean delivery has not emerged in current practice. The objective is to compare short-term clinical outcomes and cost of salpingectomy using a hand-held bipolar energy instrument with those of traditional suture ligation. This retrospective cohort study will be conducted from 2017-2023 at a single tertiary care hospital. The investigators hypothesize that bipolar energy instrument use will not significantly improve clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare and capture key elements of the patient experience, quality of recovery, preferences and satisfaction after laparoscopic salpingectomy done via 3 different routes.
The goal of this study is to understand whether providing information to women with a strong desire to avoid future pregnancy about how tubal sterilization compares to long-acting reversible contraceptives improves perceived access to available contraceptives. Participants will: * Complete a baseline survey * Receive access to web-based educational resources * Complete a brief follow up survey immediately after exploring these web-based resources * Complete a follow-up survey 3 months after enrolling The investigators will compare outcomes among participants provided with access to a new website (intervention) summarizing recent patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) comparing interval laparoscopic tubal sterilization and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) to control participants provided with access to the existing Planned Parenthood website on tubal sterilization.
Prospective, multi-center, international, unblinded, single-arm trial of subjects undergoing FemBloc followed by ultrasound confirmation test.
