Detailed Description
Primary Objectives The overall goal of this study is to create a personalized decision support educational tool for the use of LNG-IUS as a primary prevention strategy for women at risk of EC. The decision support tool will not replace the consultation with a clinician. Rather, it will help prepare the participant to better understand their options and prepare them for conversations with clinicians when making a decision about use of LNG-IUS. The primary objectives will be accomplished in two phases: Phase 1 Primary Objective: 1. To identify decisional needs, participant values, and experiences for preferences regarding LNG-IUS through a mixed-methods approach Phase 2 Primary Objective: 1. To develop and field-test a novel web-based SDM tool in English and Spanish incorporating a personalized EC risk calculator and focused on LNG-IUS as a primary prevention strategy
