Bedsider Works.

Bedsider Works.

 

Years of work went into the creation of Bedsider.org, The National Campaign's online birth control support network for young adults. In 2014 we began an independent evaluation of the Bedsider program and the results are in. Bedsider is the first digital intervention in reproductive health in the U.S.-with young adults as an audience-that has been shown to prevent unplanned pregnancy.

 

Among women age 18-29 who participated in the yearlong randomized control trial evaluation:

 

*Women in the Bedsider group were 1.51 times less likely to have a pregnancy scare than those in the control group.

*Women in the Bedsider group were 2.54 times less likely to have unprotected sex.

*Women in the Bedsider group were 3.79 times less likely to report an unplanned pregnancy.

There's An App For That.

 

A team of researchers from West Virginia University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio have recently released a mobile app version of the evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention program Seventeen Days. The app, which is available for free on Apple and Android products is targeted to young women age 14 to 19.

An IUD in Every Uterus

An IUD in Every Uterus

 

 

Babies are delightful, but they're even better when their moms can afford to take care of them. And yet, in the U.S., roughly half of all pregnancies are unintended. These births add up to billions in medical and welfare expenses, not to mention the human-suffering cost of worse infant and maternal-health outcomes.

  

Long-acting reversible contraceptives, such as IUDs and implants, have been shown to reduce unintended pregnancies because they are much more effective than condoms and the pill. Still, these methods are much less popular in the U.S. than they are elsewhere.
