Summary

Women with chronic medical conditions have been found in multiple studies to use birth control less often compared to women without chronic medical conditions. The investigators hypothesized that approaching women with chronic medical conditions who were admitted to the hospital and having a bedside conversation about pregnancy intention and counseling regarding birth control usage along with offering to start birth control before discharge would increase the use of birth control in this population. As a separate intervention, the investigators hypothesized that having a brief conversation with the participants and then giving them a flyer that recommended talking with their doctor about birth control could also increase the use of birth control in this population.
