Decision-Making Wheel

Upstream’s Decision-Making Wheel helps to facilitate patient-centered conversations by enabling patients and their healthcare teams to quickly compare methods. The content in the wheel is reflective of patients’ key drivers for choosing birth control.

The wheel allows you to point to key information related to birth control use including:

  • Efficacy
  • Potential benefits beyond contraception
  • STI prevention
  • Hidden options
  • Potential side effects
  • Potential bleeding changes

Download a digital PDF version of the wheel for use in telehealth appointments or as a learning/reference tool for health center staff. Talk to a member of your Upstream Quality Improvement team for ordering printed versions.
