Abstract:
Partners in Contraceptive Choice and Knowledge (PICCK) was a time-limited (2018-2023) initiative to improve access to and quality of contraceptive care at Massachusetts birth hospitals and included continuous involvement of a community advisory board (CAB). In addition to providing strategic guidance, CAB members co-lead didactic activities, helped develop a patient-centered contraceptive decision aid, and created a novel mechanism to provide health literacy and accessibility assessments to clinics. Inclusion of a CAB in PICCK proved feasible and helped ensure equity-focused programming.
