Using Focus Group to Explore Cultural Acceptability of Long Acting Contraception in a Diverse, Urban Population.

The purpose of this study is to learn what women of childbearing age think of Long Acting
Reversible Contraception. A variety of myths regarding LARCs have been described in the
literature. This study is designed to asses women's cultural belief's regarding LARCs.
Investigators are looking to collect information from women in general, rather than solely
who are seeking contraception. Investigators will be recruiting women ages 18-45 years from
seven family health centers affiliated with UPMC. Participants will be asked to a attend a
60-90 minutes focus group session. During the session the facilitator will try to engage
participants in a discussion about contraception in general. They will also be asked to
complete a short demographic survey of 8-12 questions. Data from focus groups will be
assessed for recurring themes which will be used to create a cultural survey instrument that
will be used in the second phase of the study.
