Summary
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of advanced supply of
emergency contraception versus routine care in a teen postpartum population. The goals are to
assess feasibility of recruiting and retaining postpartum teens; to obtain estimates of the
prevalence of (use of Plan B, primary contraceptive continuation, unprotected intercourse
exposure, and pregnancy rates), in postpartum teens given advanced supply of Plan B; to
assess whether or not (lack of use of Plan B, contraceptive method non-continuation, and
unprotected intercourse exposure), are surrogate markers for risk of unintended pregnancy.
