Abstract
This project will create a digital tool that helps adolescents identify their priorities and preferences for contraception and helps health care providers give care that is tailored to individual patients. Empowering youth to make contraceptive decisions aligned with their goals will reduce sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies and build a foundation for lifelong positive sexual and reproductive health.
