Filter by: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.
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.
Evaluation of a quality improvement (QI) collaborative aimed at improving person-centered care (PCC) for maternal health (MH) and family planning (FP) services
To evaluate the impact of a training to ASHAs on person-centered care (PCC) for family planning (FP).
Kenya has made tremendous strides in improving contraceptive prevalence rate for the last 20 years, however the rate of contraceptive discontinuation as remained almost constant at 1 out of 3 women using a family planning method. Contraceptive discontinuation increases unmet need of family planning. Hence understanding the underlying reasons for discontinuation helps in designing programs that improve method satisfaction. The primary goal of the study is to understand the factors leading to contraceptive discontinuation and switching among women of reproductive age (15 - 49 years) in Migori and Kitui counties, Kenya. The secondary goal is to assess whether a client-centered intervention focusing on contraceptive counseling can reduce modern contraceptive discontinuation and increase client satisfaction with use of modern contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age in the two counties. The specific objectives are to: 1. To assess the quality of family planning services offered in health facilities in Migori and Kitui counties, Kenya 2. To explore describe barriers and facilitators of modern contraceptive discontinuation and method switch among women of reproductive age in Migori and Kitui counties. 3. To assess the client-centered intervention focusing on contraceptive counseling in reducing contraceptive discontinuation among women of reproductive age in Migori and Kitui counties, Kenya
The primary purpose of this research is to conduct a small matched cluster control trial of an intervention designed to address reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancy (ARCHES - Addressing Reproductive Coercion within Healthcare Settings) adapted to the Mexican cultural and family planning healthcare context ( renamed Jovenes Sanos) in order to provide initial data regarding acceptability, feasibility and efficacy in this high need low-and-middle-income country.
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Media Action is presently implementing two large scale mobile health (mHealth) initiatives in India: Kilkari and Mobile Academy. Kilkari is an outbound service that delivers weekly, time-appropriate audio messages about pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare directly to families on their mobile phones, starting from the second trimester of pregnancy until the child is one-year-old. Mobile Academy (MA) is an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) in-service audio training course for Accredited social health activists (ASHAs) in India designed to refresh their knowledge of life-saving preventative health behaviors and improve their interpersonal communications skills. Both programs were initiated in Bihar in 2012, and have been scaled widely in a number of states with support from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) at the national level, National Health Missions (NHM) at the state level, and an alliance of donors (Gates Foundation, USAID, Barr Foundation, and UK Department for International Development (UKAid)). The Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Oxford Policy Management, and University of Cape Town are supporting BBC Media Action and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) are conducting an external evaluation of both Kilkari and Mobile Academy (MA). The evaluation spans through April 2020.
The primary purpose of this research is to conduct a small matched cluster control trial of an intervention designed to address reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancy (ARCHES - Addressing Reproductive Coercion within Healthcare Settings) adapted to the Kenyan cultural and family planning healthcare context (ARCHES Kenya) so as to provide initial data regarding acceptability, feasibility and efficacy in this high-need LMIC context.
The use of misoprostol at a dose of 400 µg administered vaginally four hours prior to IUD insertion increased the ease of insertion and reduced the incidence of pain during the procedure, although the frequency of cramps increased following misoprostol use.
The goal of this pilot study is to assess both implementation outcomes (acceptability, feasibility and adoption) and clinical efficacy (contraceptive method uptake by women wishing to avoid pregnancy) using a Hybrid Type 2 study design of a family planning program being piloted by the Cervical Cancer Prevention Program in Gabarone, Botswana.
