Summary
The goal of this trial is to learn if a web-based decision aid designed to provide evidence-based information about vasectomy and other birth control options helps improve users' decision-making about birth control. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do people who use the decision aid have better knowledge about vasectomy? * Do people who use the decision aid have lower conflict with their decision? Participants will: * Use the decision aid (if they are assigned to the intervention arm). * Answer survey questions about their knowledge, decision-making, interest in vasectomy, and healthcare navigation experiences.
Detailed Description
This study seeks to test a web-based decision support tool developed to enhance men's ability to make informed decisions about vasectomy that align with their preferences, values and reproductive goals. Half of participants will take their T1 survey immediately following randomization, while the other half will first use the web-based decision aid. The investigators hypothesize that compared to men who do not use the decision aid, men randomized to the decision aid arm will have greater knowledge about vasectomy and alternative options, lower decisional conflict, and will report greater interest in getting a vasectomy.
