Filter by:While a growing body of programs have shown promise to increase use of contraception among first time mothers (FTMs), difficulties remain in scaling beyond small pilot areas and institutionalizing within existing systems. Connect's approach aims to strengthen existing government health systems and community-level health efforts, including those supported through local and international non-governmental organizations, by developing and testing light-touch "enhancements" with the goal of increasing postpartum Family Planning (PPFP) adoption among FTMs. The investigators will evaluate Connect's approach through a cluster randomized control trial.
This is a prospective cohort study of individuals purchasing the oral contraceptive pill over the counter (OTC) in pharmacies in 32 US states. The comparison group is people receiving a prescription (Rx) for oral contraception. Both groups will be followed for one year to examine contraceptive continuation rates. This study will also identify who is using the pill OTC and why and evaluate differences in pregnancy intention and measures of contraceptive agency between the two groups.
The study at hand aims to examine whether incorporating use of a contraceptive decision aid (Tuune for Clinics) improves outcomes for patients seeking contraceptive care. To achieve this the investigators will test: the hypothesis that use of the Tuune decision aid in contraceptive care appointments will: (a) improve patient satisfaction, (b) increase patient positivity toward contraceptive use, and (c) improve patient outcomes, including: (ci) greater adherence to their prescribed contraceptive and (cii) fewer negative side-effects, relative to that which is observed for patients receiving a contraceptive recommendation from a traditional contraceptive counseling appointment.
The ablation of subcutaneous contraceptive implants is usually performed in consultation under local anesthesia. However, it happens that the implant was placed too deeply or that it migrated too deeply making it impossible to remove it in consultation. These patients should then be referred to reference centers so that the explantation takes place in the operating room. The investigators propose to describe their techniques for preoperative visualization of the implant and their techniques for surgical explantation for educational purposes.
Mother's Time is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tool designed to support postpartum women experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of stress, depression or anxiety. The intervention is designed for use by Ethiopian community health workers (CHWs) and includes CBT exercises and discussion on topics relating to family planning, such as planning for the future, speaking to the husband, and considering potential side effects. The primary objective of this research is to test the efficacy of Mother's Time, on mild to moderate symptoms of postpartum stress, anxiety, and depression as well as associated behavioral and social barriers to postpartum family planning, specifically among women under 25 who have given birth within the last year.
The aim of this study is to assess the value proposition of expanding contraceptive options available to women in Punjab, Pakistan to include subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC). Specific objectives are: 1. To compare 12-month continuation rates for DMPA-SC and intramuscular DMPA (DMPA-IM) among married women 18- 49 years of age in two districts of Punjab, Pakistan 2. To understand how characteristics and experiences of DMPA-SC and DMPA-IM users differ. 3. To assess how well women opting for self-injection of DMPA-SC adhere to standards for commodity storage, injection timing, injection technique, and waste disposal
This study continues an adaptation of the behavioral intervention Care Coordination After Preterm Birth (CCAPB). This is a pragmatic pilot randomized controlled feasibility trial of CCAPB with baseline and post-intervention assessments.
The goal of this study is to pilot test the IN-Control Birth Control Navigator Program in Central Indiana for use by adolescents who would like to access birth control. The investigators hypothesize that facilitating access to contraception through our intervention will ultimately result in increased feelings of autonomy around these decisions and use of hormonal contraception.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about why some people are at greater risk for oral emergency contraceptive failure while others are not. The investigators want to learn if genetic differences impact the risk of emergency contraception failure.
This study aims to generate evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of engaging for-profit private sector family physicians and pharmacies to include family planning (FP) as a routine service in rural areas of Pakistan. The study will enlist family physicians and pharmacies in rural areas of Islamabad, Pakistan. Physicians will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Those in intervention arm will received training on family planning and technical support for six months during the duration of the study, to evaluate the impact of training and support in expanding family planning coverage and impact.
