Effect of a mobile application-delivered educational video on interest in and uptake of contraception among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in Thailand: A randomized controlled trial

The authors aimed to assess the effectiveness of a mobile application-delivered educational video on contraceptive use among women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared to traditional in-person counseling. While the LINE-based intervention increased intentions to use long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) immediately after the session, it ultimately resulted in lower actual uptake of effective contraceptive methods at four weeks, highlighting the need for additional support to translate intentions into practice. Both methods improved contraceptive knowledge, but in-person counseling proved more effective for immediate method provision and uptake.
