Patient and counselor satisfaction with structured contraceptive counseling by health center staff in federally qualified health centers.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To characterize patient and counselor satisfaction with structured, tier-based contraceptive counseling provided by a nonclinician.

Study design

We conducted a planned secondary analysis of patient and counselor surveys from a study that enrolled women in 2 contraceptive care programs. All participants received structured contraceptive counseling from trained staff members. Women and counselors completed a confidential post-visit survey regarding satisfaction with counseling and medical mistrust. We used univariate and multivariable regressions to examine differences in high satisfaction with counseling (top score), perceived counselor influence, and perceived counselor judgment by participant characteristics.

Results

Nine hundred forty-two participants com
