Abstract
Purpose: To assess the resources that oral contraceptive pill (OCP) users currently use and wish to use after missing pills.
Materials and methods: People 18-44 years old with a OCP prescription were emailed a cross-sectional survey to assess how they obtain information about managing missed pills, what information they would prefer to access, and whether they would use additional information if it were available. We performed a logistic regression and a dominance analysis to compare independent predictors of desire for a technological resource at the time of missed pills.
Results: We received 166 completed surveys. Nearly half of participants (47%, n = 76, 95% CI 39.0-54.4%) did not seek information about managing their missed pills. When missing a pill, more patients preferred non-technology-based information (57.1%, n = 93, 95% CI 49.3-64.5%) over technology-based information (43%, n = 70, 95% CI 35.5-50.7%). Most reported they would appreciate more information at the time of missed pills (76%, n = 124, 95% CI 68.9-82.0%). The strongest predictors for desire for technology-based information were: current use of technology, lower parity, white race, and higher educational attainment.
Conclusions: This study indicates that most OCP users would utilise additional information at the time of a missed pill if they had access to it and that they desire information in varying formats.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
