Abstract

Healthcare providers are in a unique position to address women's risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), yet evidence for effective counseling strategies is limited. One approach to developing effective contraceptive counseling methods may be the application of theory-based behavior counseling models. One such model, motivational interviewing (MI), is a promising approach for addressing risk-taking behaviors of many kinds. We propose application of MI to contraceptive counseling. This process, ESP, involves Exploring discrepancies between pregnancy intention and contraceptive use and between risk of STIs and condom use, Sharing information and Promoting behaviors to reduce risk. This model emphasizes the importance of identifying discrepancies between goals and behaviors and supporting women's confidence in using appropriate contraceptive methods
