What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this study is to evaluate if using a pain management options menu for IUD (intrauterine device) insertion improves patient autonomy, satisfaction, and/or pain. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does a pain management options menu for IUD insertion improve patient autonomy? Does a pain management options menu for IUD insertion improve patient satisfaction? Does a pain management options menu for IUD insertion improve patient pain?

Researchers will compare survey data from patients receiving IUDs before and after a pain management options menu is implemented.

Participants will be asked to answer survey questions addressing their feelings of autonomy, satisfaction, and pain in regards to their IUD insertion experience.
