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.
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.
The ADAPT Study is a longitudinal observational cohort study examining women's pregnancy preferences, pregnancy decision-making processes, and the effects of less preferred (commonly called "unintended") pregnancy on women's lives. This study will enroll and follow prospectively an Underlying Cohort (UC) of women who are not pregnant at baseline. The study will measure the degree to which participants desire to avoid pregnancy multiple times over the course of the year and capture incident pregnancies as they occur over time. Participants experiencing new pregnancies during the one-year UC will be transferred into a new cohort, the Pregnancy and Match Cohort (PMC); these women will be followed over the course of their pregnancy decision-making and health care-seeking to document these processes. In addition, they will be followed through their pregnancies and giving birth to investigate differences in health, well-being, and socioeconomic outcomes associated with carrying a pregnancy to term based on the participant's pre- and post-pregnancy preference about the pregnancy. Finally, a cohort of non-pregnant women from the UC, matched on desire to avoid pregnancy and time at risk of pregnancy, will be followed as part of the PMC. The study will compare the health, well-being, and socioeconomic outcomes of women with new pregnancies and new births to those in the non-pregnant group to assess the effect of pregnancy itself on women. The ADAPT study has the following aims: Aim 1: Assess the factors associated with women's pregnancy preferences, how preferences change over time, and their associations with contraceptive use, incident pregnancy, and feelings about the pregnancy after discovery (Underlying Cohort) Aim 2: Investigate the options that women consider when they become pregnant and the factors that influence their pregnancy decision-making and ability to access desired reproductive health care and services (prenatal, abortion, adoption) (Study A) Aim 3a: Examine the effects of giving birth from a less preferred (or "unintended") pregnancy, measured prospectively on a continuum, as compared to a more preferred pregnancy, on women's health and well-being (Study B1) Aim 3b: Examine the effects of experiencing pregnancy and birth on women's health and well-being, as compared to not experiencing pregnancy (Study B2) This is a social science, behavioral study and does not use clinical data or biological markers.
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.
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 Contraceptive Choice Center will use an innovative-model of contraceptive care which was developed as a part of the Contraceptive CHOICE Project (CHOICE). This delivery model will deliver high-quality family planning services for women and reduce unintended pregnancies and births. This intervention will result in improved health for women, improved health care, and reduced costs to Medicaid. The Center will provide care to women ages 14-45 years of age.
Investigators are carrying out a study to assess the immediate and long-term effects of a positive youth development program (the Teen Outreach Program) on high school youth in Florida. This study will answer the following questions: What is the impact of the Teen Outreach Program on sexual activity and positive youth development at the end of the program and 10 months after the program?
Using our experience in digital media, behavior theory, client-centered interventions, and family planning, we have prototyped a digital application ("app")—miPlan—to be used in the clinic waiting room prior to a contraceptive visit. The goal of this research is to refine the app and conduct a randomized controlled trial of the miPlan intervention vs. standard care. The aim of this study is to understand miPlan's impact. The primary outcome is LARC uptake at clinic discharge. The secondary outcomes are contraceptive use at discharge, self-efficacy and decisional balance for highly effective contraception post-app use, contraceptive satisfaction, and intention to continue method use. The research will consist of baseline activities as well as a three-month follow-up call.
This study is testing models of contraceptive care that were developed as part of the Contraceptive CHOICE Project. CHOICE is a prospective cohort study of 9,256 women designed to: 1) promote the use of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods which include interuterine devices (IUD) and subdermal implants; 2) remove financial barriers to contraception; 3) evaluate continuation of and satisfaction with reversible methods; and 4) reduce unintended pregnancies in the St. Louis region. CHOICE demonstrated that interventions such as comprehensive contraceptive counseling, increased access, and removal of financial barriers increase the uptake of LARC methods and reduce unintended pregnancy. The investigators objective is to determine whether the CHOICE model of contraceptive care can be equally successful in the real world of community clinics.
The purpose of this web-based study is to determine whether reproductive life planning (RLP), with or without contraceptive action planning (RLP+), will result in reduced risk of unintended pregnancy when compared to an information-only control group.
