Would you like to answer some questions and kind of do a self-evaluation about how you're feeling around alcohol and the contraception?
human
Sure.
gpt
Okay. So we're working on a 10 point of scale 1 to 10, 1 being not important, 10 being very important. One being not confident, one being very confident. So on a scale of 1 to 10, which number best reflects how important it is to you to drink the-- what risk limits?
human
I would say an eight.
gpt
You'd say an eight. Okay. And on a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you at the present time that you can drink below risk levels?
human
I would say a four.
gpt
Amount of four.
human
Mm-hmm.
gpt
Okay. And so let's look at those two. You're-you're thinking it's pretty important, but your confidence is down here, uh, a four, but it's not a one. What makes you confident that you can drink below risk levels and you remember what those are?
human
Um, I think it's because you've told me I'm at risk and I have alcoholism in my family and I really don't want to go down that path. So I'm-I'm confident that I can change that at this point.
gpt
Okay. So that gives you a good reason not to drink. Okay. Anything else?
human
Um, well, I have a group of friends that doesn't drink that I hang out with. And I think when I hang out with them, it's not an issue. So that also helps me.
gpt
So you have a support group that gives you the ability to have fun and still drink below risk levels?
human
Yep.
gpt
Okay. Anything else?
human
Nope.
gpt
Now let's look at your self-evaluation of your birth control. So now we're doing the risk of pregnancy and the use of birth control. So on a scale of 1 to 10, how important is it to you to use effective birth control every time you have sex to keep from getting pregnant?
human
I would say an eight.
gpt
An eight. Okay. And on a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you at the present time that you- that you can use effective birth control?
human
Every time,-
gpt
Every time.
human
-probably a six.
gpt
Correctly as it's prescribed.
human
Probably a six.
gpt
Probably a six. Okay. So you're pretty confident that you can do it. And why are you a six and not a two or three?
human
Um, I'm a six because I think if I drink less, I'll be more reliable with using birth control. I tend to not use it when I'm-- I drank too much and I don't really care too much.
gpt
Okay. So it's kind of linked to your drinking, the fact that, um, that you can-- if you can take care of that drinking, you can take care of the-
human
Yeah.
gpt
-birth control issue and this importance comes down as your reason why you're not down here.
human
Yes.
gpt
Very good. So it looks like, um, you're using a good method of birth control, you're just not able to use it effectively. And you've linked it back here to the drinking. So would you like to develop a plan around your alcohol use at this-- today?
human
Before I leave?
gpt
Yes.
human
Okay.
gpt
Okay. And if you need more information, we can get that for you.
human
Okay.
gpt
Okay.
