In this special report, we describe the rationale for using health coaching, conceptual framework, intervention processes, and findings from a single\u2010arm feasibility study of the intervention protocol.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title><jats:p>Health coaching is a person\u2010centered behavioral change approach organized around five main strategies: providing education relevant to health goals, building health self\u2010management skills, offering patient\u2010centered counseling, identifying barriers to adherence, and fostering personal accountability for achieving health goals. We used these strategies to affect theory\u2010driven mediators delineated in the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction (intentions, knowledge, attitudes, perceived social norms, and self\u2010efficacy) and clinical mediators posited to change through program participation (shared contraceptive decision\u2010making, method satisfaction, quality of life, distress tolerance, experiential avoidance, patient\u2010coach alliance, and expectations of treatment effect). Experienced sexual health educators completed a manualized, 4\u2010week health training program adapted from the National Society of Health Coaches. Between March and December 2017, we recruited a convenience sample of sexually\u2010active women ages 14\u201321\u2009years who initiated a new contraceptive in the prior 14\u2009days from three urban pediatric clinics in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At baseline, participants completed a socio\u2010demographic questionnaire, contraceptive needs assessment interview, and prioritized reproductive topics to learn more about. We synthesized these data into a coaching plan that guided the monthly coaching sessions which occurred for 6\u2009months following contraceptive initiation. We assessed method adherence and continuation with monthly follow\u2010up questionnaires and corroborated the findings through electronic medical record and pharmacy refill data review. Exit interviews assessed program acceptability. Feasibility outcomes measured throughout the protocol administration included recruitment and retention success. We used descriptive statistics to assess baseline and follow up questionnaire measures and audio\u2010recorded and transcribed exit interviews verbatim. Two independent coders used deductive and inductive content analysis coding approaches to identify themes related to program acceptability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 92 women approached for the longitudinal intervention, 33 enrolled. Participants' mean age was 17.4\u2009\u00b1\u20092.1\u2009years. Most were Black (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a024), in high school (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a023), and single\/never\u2010married (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a031). Twenty\u2010one completed \u22654 coaching sessions. Among the 23 for whom 6\u2010month contraceptive continuation could be determined, 20 continued their baseline method, 2 switched methods without a gap in use, and 1 discontinued contraceptive use. Five were lost to follow up after enrollment; continuation status was indeterminant for the remaining five. Among the 22 who completed exit interviews, all expressed high program acceptability citing that it provided knowledge\u2010based benefits, nonknowledge\u2010based benefits, and an opportunity to develop a positive, supportive relationship with a reproductive health expert. Participants provided feedback on logistical aspects of the program they enjoyed and made suggestions for improvements prior to embarking on a larger efficacy trial.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Health coaching is a new approach for promoting contraceptive continuation in young women.
