Filter by:More than 3 billion of the worlds population are young people under the age of 25. According to WHO data, one million girls under the age of 15 give birth each year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, and 3 million adolescent girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are exposed to unsafe abortions. Failure to meet the family planning needs of young people in a timely, adequate and appropriate manner can have significant public health impacts. According to World Health Statistics, the global birth rate for girls between 15 and 19 years of age is 49 out of 1000, and early pregnancy and childbirth can lead to serious health and social problems. In addition, this age group does not have sufficient information about pregnancy and its complications, and their access to and utilization of health services is low. Inadequacies in the education of adolescents on sexual issues and sociocultural differences further increase the sexual and reproductive health risks of young people in the university period. Information and services that will enable individuals to understand their sexuality and help them protect themselves from sexual risks should be provided specifically for that age. Therefore, it is important for young people to know family planning methods. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of family planning education to be given with gamification method, which is different from the classical method in the literature, on the knowledge and attitudes of university students.
The mixed methods pilot study aims to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and implementation challenges of the TARANG intervention in villages in rural/tribal Rajasthan to inform the study design and operational details for a larger cluster-randomized controlled trial.
This study will adapt the Game Changers peer advocacy training model for family planning context and pilot test the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the intervention to empower female contraception users to advocate for contraception use among women in their social networks who have unmet need for contraception.
The study seeks to determine current practices and perspectives of contraceptive advice of both service users and professionals. It aims to examine 1) the experiences of female service users of reproductive potential with mental health conditions of contraceptive advice from mental health professionals and 2) the current practice of providing contraceptive advice by mental health professionals.
The primary objective of this evaluation is to understand the effectiveness of the OpenSRP platform on unmet family planning (FP) demand in rural Zambia. The specific objectives are to: 1. assess the impact of the intervention on satisfaction and use of modern family planning methods among last-mile people of childbearing potential; and 2. understand the impact of the intervention on FP inventory management and dispensing. The investigators will employ mixed-methods for data collection for this two-arm cluster-randomized trial. This effectiveness evaluation will be paired with a concurrent implementation evaluation, making it a Type 2 Hybrid Design. For the impact evaluation data will be collected from two main sources at both baseline and endline: 1) existing stock management records (eLMIS and paper records, depending on study arm); and 2) Short phone surveys with people of childbearing potential in the community.
This trial wants to address high unmet need for postpartum family planning (PPFP) in Rwanda. A previous pilot study tested the intervention (informed by formative work with couples/clients, clinic providers, champions, and community health workers), which significantly increased the use of PPFP in government clinics. This study now proposes to use an implementation science framework to test the hypothesis that the proposed PPFP intervention is adaptable to large-scale implementation, cost-effective, and sustainable. This PPFP could dramatically reduce unintended pregnancy and abortion and improve birth spacing and maternal and newborn health.
Purpose: The aims of the research are to determine the effects of individual trainings on family planning given to migrant women (Ahıska Turks), repetitive trainings via mobile applications, telephone counseling initiatives on women's health responsibility levels, family planning knowledge and attitudes. Design: This pretest-posttest is an interventional quasi-experimental research. Method: Standard protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) Statement 2013 checklist is used in this study. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) flowchart is used in this protocol. This study will be carried out with immigrant (Ahıska Turks) women between the ages of 15-49 who are registered in Üzümlü Family Health Center in Üzümlü district of Erzincan province. In this study, individual training on family planning and health responsibility, repetitive training via mobile application and telephone counseling initiatives will be made. The same applications will be applied to the control group after the study data is collected. Hypotheses: H1: Mobile applications for family planning, telephone counseling and individual training have an impact on the family planning attitudes of immigrant women. H1: Mobile applications for family planning, telephone counseling and individual trainings have an impact on the family planning knowledge level of immigrant women. H1: Mobile applications, telephone counseling and individual trainings for health responsibility have an impact on the level of health responsibility of migrant women.
The investigators will conduct an observational study comparing the number of bleeding days before and after contraceptive implant (Nexplanon) replacement.
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.
Background:- The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends postpartum family planning as a critical component of health care that has the potential to meet women's desire for contraception and save millions of maternal and infant lives in low- and middle-income countries. Family planning is known to avert a higher number of maternal deaths and child mortality. Closely spaced pregnancies within the first year postpartum are the riskiest for the mother and baby, resulting in increased risks for adverse outcomes, such as preterm, low birth weight, and small for gestational age. Adding the existing body of evidence use of intervention strategies that promote and increase postpartum family planning in the developing world is important. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of the use of pamphlet supported by counseling during child immunization in improving the overall and average time of initiation of postpartum family planning utilization in the first nine months after delivery and assess its socio-demographic predictors in selected health centers of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Methods:- The study will use implementation science with a randomized control trial study design. The study will involve mothers coming for vaccination of their newborn child to selected three health centers that are under the catchment area of Tikur Anbessa Teaching Hospital, in Addis Ababa. Eligible mothers will be randomly assigned into intervention and non-intervention arms using computerized assignments assisted by an envelope. Mothers assigned to the interventional arm will be given a pamphlet that advises mothers about postpartum family planning followed by counseling service while women in the non-intervention arm will take the routine immunization service given in the health services. Both groups will be followed until the 9th month after the birth of the child. In the 9th month after the birth of the child, during child vaccination for measles, women will be asked for the starting date the first family planning service. A comparison of family planning service will be made between the groups using logistic regression, using bivariate and multivariable analysis. The study also will use Kaplan Meier and Cox-regression to compare the median time of postpartum family planning and its correlation using SPSS for windows version 26. The research will undertake from Dec 2019 to June 2021.
