This project evaluates an intervention aimed at increasing contraceptive use for incarcerated women as they re-enter their communities. 400 women from Rhode Island women's jails are randomly assigned to one of two interventions: three sessions of personalized Motivational Interviewing with Computer Assistance (MICA) or three sessions of Didactic Educational Counseling (DEC). MICA is based on the principles of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and on Motivational Interviewing (MI), an empirically supported counseling technique designed to enhance readiness to change targeted behaviors. The DEC provides didactic information about contraception, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and abstinence.
