This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new website designed to help people who want to avoid future pregnancies make better informed decisions about permanent birth control. The website compares tubal sterilization (a surgical procedure) to other long-acting birth control options like IUDs and implants. Researchers believe that when people have clear, complete information about all their choices, they're more likely to pick a method that's right for them.
Research shows that some women regret choosing permanent sterilization, and that certain groups of women have fewer choices explained to them than others. This trial exists to help fix that by making sure everyone considering permanent birth control understands all their safe and effective options.

You will be randomly assigned to view one of two websites about birth control options. One website compares permanent sterilization to other long-acting methods, while the other focuses only on permanent sterilization. You'll review the information on your assigned website and likely answer questions about your understanding and preferences. The study is designed to fit into your normal healthcare visit, so it shouldn't require extra trips or significant time commitment.
