PATH4YOU Indiana

People need both the knowledge and empowerment to make informed reproductive decisions, so providers must ensure that patients receive comprehensive, evidence-based reproductive healthcare. The PATH4YOU Model is a three-tiered intervention that combines best practices in 1) universal pregnancy intention screening, 2) comprehensive contraceptive counseling and decision support, and 3) same-day contraceptive method access, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). To mitigate biased and coercive counseling and prescribing practices, we will work with providers and community partners to refine and provide patient-centered tools for pregnancy intention screening and contraceptive decision support. Therefore, we aim to help providers develop skills, capacity, and supply chain to provide same-day contraceptive access by training clinicians in quick-start protocols and implant and intrauterine (IUD) insertions.
