  • Priorities in choosing a contraceptive (e.g., ease of use, prevention of pregnancy, prevention of STDs)
  • Health insurance coverage
  • Comfort with use of hormones
  • Knowlege about devices available
  • Relationship information

At the end of the app, it offers a button to click to find a health center which offers the chosen type of contraception.
