Filter by: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.
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.
This is a clinical trial investigating the impact of social accountability interventions on contraceptive use in Western Kenya. Social accountability interventions aim to improve the performance of healthcare providers via public monitoring of provider performance. This study aims to implement and evaluate two social accountability interventions: the community score card and the citizen report card. All public-sector healthcare facilities in Kisumu Country will be considered for enrollment; facility staff and residents of corresponding facility catchment areas will be randomized to one of the two treatments or the control arm.
This study will entail provision of ulipristal acetate (UPA) for emergency contraception (EC) in the postpartum period for patients who have not chosen to initiate a highly effective form of contraception and study the use of EC overall as well as with regards to participants' perception of reproductive autonomy. The investigators hypothesize that providing an advance supply of EC will increase use and decrease barriers to use. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that, with thorough EC counseling, participants will develop an increased knowledge base of EC. With increased use and knowledge, the investigators hypothesize that participants will experience greater reproductive autonomy over their contraceptive decisions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a contraception decision aid mobile application on: (a) decisional conflict, (b) reproductive health self-efficacy, (c) contraceptive and reproductive health literacy, and (d) contraceptive use intentions.
Clinician counseling for implant users should involve an explanation of the likelihood of irregular bleeding and the possibility of continued or frequent bleeding throughout three years of use. If that counseling does not provide specifics of the actual distribution of bleeding patterns described in published literature, there remains the real possibility of biased or directed counseling, leading to an inaccurate and exaggerated expectation of potential bleeding changes. This study aims to evaluate if a standardized script accompanied by a visual aid regarding expected bleeding profiles, with intention to remove any possibility of negative or positive framing, could change users' expectations and satisfaction with their method, leading to lower discontinuation rates.
