Health Literacy Project: Oral Contraceptive Patient Education Materials
Free Download
In 2009, the Region VI Title X grantees requested Center for Health Training (CHT) to develop low literacy materials regarding proper use of OCPs. With funding secured by DHHS Region VI, CHT collaborated with Sage Words (www.sagewords.org) to conduct a literature review, hold focus group interviews with clients and staff regarding current materials, draft new materials, and conduct usability testing with clients to determine comprehension and ease-of-use. The literature review and analysis of current materials used in clinics found no existing materials meeting clients’ needs. As a result, the Region IV grantees decided to create and test new materials to meet both client and clinician’s needs. These materials are now available for free download with the goal of creating better-informed clients, decreased need for emergency contraception, and reduced unintended pregnancies among users.
