Unintended pregnancy is associated with significant public health problems including inadequate prenatal care low birth weight infants infant mortality and maternal morbidity and mortality Children born as a result of unplanned pregnancies are at greater risk for poor outcomes such as poor mental health and developmental disabilities This research project will determine whether providing contraception in the home can reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy in low income and minority women The project will also determine whether delaying a pelvic exam encourages or discourages the utilization of clinic-based preventive services to screen for sexually transmitted diseases STDs and cervical cancer
