This prospective randomized controlled study will evaluate if Long Acting Reversible
Contraceptive (LARC) forward counseling in combination with same-day LARC placement increases
overall LARC uptake within a community college population compared to LARC forward counseling
and referral to a secondary clinic for LARC placement. The study will be conducted at Mount
Hood Community College (MHCC) in Oregon. Participants will be enrolled into three groups. All
groups will receive the same standardized contraceptive counseling ("LARC forward
counseling") and participants will be able to choose between a LARC method and short-acting
method of birth control.
