Clinical Trial Summary
This observational study will assess a model for providing family planning through quarterly
events organized by dairy cooperatives supported by Land O'Lakes in Kenya.
Description:
Access to family planning and other reproductive health services remains difficult in much
of rural Kenya. One option for improving rural access to family planning is to use existing
community events outside of the health sector as platforms for delivering information and
services. This study will assess a model for providing family planning through quarterly
events organized by dairy cooperatives supported by Land O'Lakes in Kenya. During these
events, known as Field Days, a healthcare provider will have a tent in which Field Day
attendees can receive basic family health services free of charge. The services offered will
be: family planning counseling and methods, immunizations, antenatal care, screening and
treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and HIV counseling and testing. Since the
services are no different than those that could be obtained at Ministry of Health or some
private facilities, the service provision is not considered to be part of the research.
Women receiving any service from the health care provider will be recruited for an interview
that will measure their demand for family planning and attitudes about receiving services
during the field day. In addition, the study will track the number of different types of
services provided, the total number of Field Day attendees, and the cost of the service
model. The study will be carried out at five Field Days in Rift Valley and Central
provinces.
Participants will not be tested for STI/HIV as part of this research; however, at their
request, they may have received a test from the provider prior to the research interview. At
the time of consent, they will have already received the test, so the consent form will not
include anything specific to testing. In Kenya, all STI/HIV test results are reported to the
national public health authorities. These reports are not used for contacting patients but
for planning purposes.
