Filter by:Early unintended fatherhood and rates of sexually transmitted infections remain national concerns, disproportionately affecting minority, underserved adolescent males, many of whom frequently use emergency departments (EDs) for medical care. EDs must implement effective sexual and reproductive health interventions that are evidence-based and reproducible. This research will conduct pilot testing of a personalized and interactive digital intervention specifically targeting adolescent males entitled Dr. Eric that is theory-based, user-informed, and scalable across EDs.
The overall goal of this study is to refine and pilot test the investigators novel intervention to offer contraception counseling and initiation for hospitalized female adolescents, focusing on long acting reversible contraception (LARC).
Iraq is a country that ranks 33rd around world population growth rate. Meanwhile it is one of the counties in the middle east with the highest fertility rate, In addition to the considerable number of unintended pregnancy mainly in postpartum period. The less use of family planning methods, the higher the fertility rate and the less interpregnancy interval which will carry an obvious more risk to the mother and the fetus especially if the cesarean delivery rate shown an increase trend as the case in Iraq. For that reason, contraception needs to be practiced in this critical period and an intrauterine contraceptive device ( IUD), the most commonly used reversible method of contraception worldwide could be an excellent choice during this period. There were few evidences available about the safety and feasibility on practicing this type of contraception when we did start three years ago and no previous evidences in Iraq about practicing this method at the immediate postpartum period.
This multi-site study is employing a brief contraception counseling intervention in the Emergency Department (ED) to shed light on factors that affect decision making as well as barriers and facilitators to conception initiation in the Emergency Department (ED) setting. The overarching goal of the study is to reduce unintended pregnancy among females ages 15 to 18 who present to the Emergency Department (ED).
This study seeks to test a web-based decision support tool developed to enhance low-income women's ability to make informed decisions about tubal sterilization that align with their preferences, values and reproductive goals. Half of participants will receive usual care, while the other half will use the web-based decision aid plus usual care. The investigators hypothesize that compared to women who receive usual care alone, women randomized to the decision aid arm will have greater knowledge about sterilization and alternative options, lower decisional conflict, and will be more satisfied with their contraceptive decision at 3-month follow-up.
MTN-045 is a cross-sectional study that will utilize questionnaires, including Discrete-Choice Experiments (DCE) and joint decision tasks, to assess couples' preferences related to dual purpose prevention (DPP) products that could be used to prevent unintended pregnancies and HIV infection. Post-survey explanatory in-depth interviews (IDIs) will be conducted with a subset of participants to explore DPP product-related decisions..
The purpose of this study is to use an electronic survey to explore Solid Organ Transplant patients' contraceptive knowledge and counseling. The results from this survey will be used to help identify awareness gaps to potentially develop targeted interventions for comprehensive education.
The primary hypothesis is that the intervention video - based on strategies from cognitive psychology - can correct women's misinformation about long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and result in higher use of LARC. While there are no direct benefits to participants from being in the study, the research could benefit women in general by providing evidence to help prevent unintended pregnancy. Unlike many interventions that are not feasible for scaling up once shown to be effective in changing people's behavior, the proposed intervention has been carefully designed to impose a low burden to clinic staff and require few resources for translating to wider use. Thus, the investigators expect the intervention to have high potential for influencing clinical care and research for addressing the overall goal of reducing unintended pregnancy.
The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized trial to determine the effectiveness of an educational intervention for religious leaders in promoting uptake of family planning in Tanzania.
This is a mixed methods process evaluation of a programmatic intervention to integrate family planning and immunization services at health facilities in Lofa and Grand Bassa counties in Liberia. MCSP used a longitudinal, pair-matched design to monitor the effect of integrating immunization and FP services on utilization of FP and routine immunization services. In Lofa and Grand Bassa counties, 36 facilities were pair-matched to intervention and comparison sites based on predetermined criteria. After approximately 9 months of implementation, MCSP conducted a qualitative study employing key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) at intervention and comparison sites, and with district-, county-, and national-level MOH supervisors and managers.
