Study Summary

Unintended pregnancy (UP), defined as a mistimed or unwanted pregnancy, is a significant and prevalent public health problem, particularly among low-income women. Over half of all pregnancies are reportedly unintended and UP has been linked to adverse health outcomes in mothers and their children. Correct and consistent use of effective contraception is the primary method to prevent UP. Research has shown that low self-esteem and elevated depressive symptoms increase women's risk for ineffective contraception use and, by extension, for UP. This project examines the feasibility and possible efficacy of reducing ineffective contraception using an intervention that addresses depressive symptoms and self concept among young, low-income, predominantly minority women at risk for UP. Traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective in reducing depressive symptoms and improving self concept; but limited utilization, poor response, and low adherence to CBT is common among low-income and minority women. A more acceptable method for delivering CBT is needed for the target population. This project will use peer-specialists to deliver a CBT-based intervention to women at risk for UP. Because peer specialists are drawn from the same community as the target population and share some similar life experiences, the intervention may be more acceptable and effective than one offered by trained professionals. This project will examine the effectiveness of a 9 week (8-session) peer-specialist led CBT-based intervention compared to an observational control condition to reduce depressive symptoms, improve self-esteem, and improve consistent contraceptive use to prevent UP. The weekly intervention sessions are delivered by telephone by a trained peer specialist. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention to improve consistent contraceptive use (primary outcome) and decrease depressive symptoms and increase self-esteem (secondary outcomes).
