Brief summary
The Contraceptive Choice Center will use an innovative-model of contraceptive care which was developed as a part of the Contraceptive CHOICE Project (CHOICE). This delivery model will deliver high-quality family planning services for women and reduce unintended pregnancies and births. This intervention will result in improved health for women, improved health care, and reduced costs to Medicaid. The Center will provide care to women ages 14-45 years of age.
Detailed description
The Center will provide high-quality contraceptive care using the innovative model of the Contraceptive CHOICE Project.
