Contraception Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Values Clarification and Attitude Transformation Workshops on Abortion and Family Planning Service Provision and Client Experience in Socially Franchised Facilities in Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Study
Stigma around abortion and other reproductive health care is pervasive in most contexts and has been documented to have implications for the quality of care. This study aims to assess how Values Clarification and Attitude Transformation (VCAT) workshops for providers of abortion and family planning services influences service provision of abortion and family planning services, including the quality and person-centeredness of care provided. A secondary aim is to measure how provider attitudes, knowledge, and behavioral intent change over time as a result of the VCAT workshop.This study will be conducted across multiple regions in Ethiopia.
This two-arm, parallel design stratified cluster randomized control trial aims to assess how Values Clarification and Attitude Transformation (VCAT) workshops on influences service provision to clients seeking abortion and family planning services. The study aims to assess whether the experiences and quality of care of abortion clients of any age and family planning clients under the age of 20 change as a potential consequence of the VCAT workshop. A secondary aim is to measure how provider attitudes, knowledge, and behavioral intent change over time in relation to the VCAT workshops. This study will be conducted at socially franchised facilities in the Blue Star network in Ethiopia run by Marie Stopes Ethiopia. This study is a mixed methods study with two concurrent quantitative study designs that account for the need for different recruitment and data collection strategies for the two target populations, clients and providers, and a qualitative component for both target populations. The unit of randomization is the facility. Facilities will be randomized with a 1:1 ratio between intervention and control within strata defined by eligible client volume, using a disproportionate allocation by client volume. Facilities will not be blinded to treatment assignment group after baseline. To measure client experience of person-centered quality care, cross-sectional surveys with adolescent clients under 20 years old who receive family planning or abortion services, and with abortion clients of any age will be collected at two time points (before and after VCAT workshops). Clients will only be recruited from "high" volume facilities. Providers and promoters will be followed longitudinally for up to 6 months. A subsample of abortion clients who participated in the survey will be interviewed. Using preliminary analysis of provider responses, semi-structured in-depth interviews (IDI) with a subset of providers who took part in the VCAT training will be conducted. Providers from facilities who demonstrated significant change in outcomes of interest and those who did not will be purposively sample. Additionally, service volume and referrals of abortion and family planning clients will be analyzed for all facilities using routine service statistics to assess whether there was a potential change in volumes related to the VCAT workshops. ;
