Dr. Ereme is currently working on research related to antenatal group contraceptive counseling. The project aims to compare antenatal group contraceptive counseling via video conferencing platform to traditional standardized individual antenatal contraceptive counseling. The primary measurable outcomes include patient satisfaction with counseling using the person centered contraceptive counseling (PCC) measure. The measure was developed by UCSF as a quality care measure that takes into account patient satisfaction and expectations in regards to contraceptive counseling. The secondary outcomes include contraceptive knowledge and postpartum contraceptive uptake. This research project aims to reshape how contraceptive counseling success is measured by focusing on patient satisfaction and needs instead of solely contraceptive uptake. The hope is to ensure that in clinical practice, patient’s needs and desires are being respected when it comes to contraceptive choice and options.
