Contraception Behavior Clinical Trial
Official title:
An mHealth, Multi-Centre Randomized Controlled Trial to Promote Use of Postpartum Contraception Amongst Rural Women in Punjab, Pakistan
Multiple encounters of pregnant women with the health care system during the late antenatal and immediate postpartum period provide a gateway for postpartum family planning counselling. Counselling on family planning services during this time is considered effective and cost-efficient for promoting healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies. This research aims to test the effectiveness of mobile phone-based interventions in promoting use of postpartum contraception.
The study will be a three-arm, 10-month, multicentre, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial which will be conducted at 15 Suraj social franchise(SF) health facilities in Punjab province of Pakistan. Pregnant women aged 15-44 years who are in their first or second trimester and have a mobile phone for their own use will be eligible to participate in this study. The participants will be randomly allocated to one of three study arms: a) voice and text messages; b) interactive telephone-based counselling; or c) control arm (no additional phone-based support). The intervention counselling module will be developed based on the Integrated Behaviour Model which was recently adapted, and tested for the family planning context in Pakistan. It will broadly cover birth-preparedness, birth spacing and contraception, and postnatal care. The phone-based intervention aims to improve women's ability to use contraception by providing them with information about a range of methods, access to family planning methods through outlets such as Suraj SF providers, connecting them with MSS field health educators to help them reach the centres, motivation by re-enforcing the benefits of contraceptive use on women's quality of life, and dispelling myths and misconceptions about modern contraceptive methods. Risk differences will be used as the measure of effect of the intervention on the outcomes. ;
