An interventional study of IN-Control (Birth Control Navigator Program) in Contraception, Contraceptive Usage and Health Care Utilization, sponsored by Indiana University. Terminated at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 15 Years to 19 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-19.
Sponsored by Indiana University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The goal of this study is to pilot test the IN-Control Birth Control Navigator Program in Central Indiana for use by adolescents who would like to access birth control. The investigators hypothesize that facilitating access to contraception through our intervention will ultimately result in increased feelings of autonomy around these decisions and use of hormonal contraception.
The IN-Control Birth Control Navigator Program will provide personalized attention to adolescents and young adults and will be able to address self-efficacy skills, and abilities through personal interactions with navigator staff and use of targeted services. Importantly, the navigator can assist participants in overcoming specific environmental barriers (transportation, cost, clinical access) and personal barriers (knowledge and confidentiality concerns) before, during and after the clinical encounter.

Behavioral: IN-Control (Birth Control Navigator Program)
Pilot Study of IN-Control Program within the state of Indiana
Number of IN Control Pilot Program (Feeling Comfortable, Listened to, Helpful, Easy to Contact) Feeling Satisfied
Survey of participants that interacted with navigator program (number of participants reporting that the navigator program was easy to contact, made them feel comfortable, listened to and helpful)
Time frame: Within 2-4weeks after contact with the IN-Control Program
During the project period, 136,069 total website visits occurred, and 101 users initiated the Decision Aid tool and 8 completed it. From those visits, 35 individuals requested navigator support, and program staff were able to successfully connect with 30 of them. All adolescents who engaged with the navigator program were asked if they would like to participate in the study after navigator assistance was completed. Eighteen (18) then agreed to participate in the pilot study.
