NCT01881321 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Study design: This is a 2-phase study. During the first phase, the investigators developed a contraceptive counseling intervention based on the principles of Motivational Interviewing, trained counselors, and conducted a small pilot study to develop skills and refine the intervention. The second phase is this feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare outcomes between: Group 1 - Women randomized to a 20-40 minute contraceptive counseling session based on the principles of motivational interviewing, vs. Group 2 - Women receiving usual clinic care. Population: Women, aged 15-29 years, presenting to the University of Chicago family planning clinic for termination of an unintended pregnancy. Hypothesis: A larger proportion of women who are randomized to receive the MI counseling intervention will be using very effective contraception 3 months after the intervention.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01881321
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01881321 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Chicago, which has 846 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Unplanned Pregnancy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Counseling Intervention is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01881321 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
