Patient-centered Information on Permanent Contraception

Description

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.
