Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Description:

The project consortium will implement the ARCHES model across two community health centers in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. A 2-armed pilot study of ARCHES (adapted) will be conducted with 80 female FP clients (40 intervention, 40 control) ages 16-20 drawn from 2 comparable community health centers randomly assigned to either intervention or control (i.e. standard of care). Baseline data will be collected prior to routine FP service delivery, with a short exit survey conducted immediately following the clients' FP appointment (ARCHES or standard FP counseling will be provided during this visit). Follow-up data will be collected at 3-months post-intervention. Data at each time point will be collected via a 30-minute audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) in Spanish. Data will also be collected to assess qualities of program implementation (i.e., process evaluation) to ensure implementation of the program as intended as well as unforeseen barriers to implementation. Creation of procedures for data collection, review of quality control data, and interpretation of findings will occur in collaboration with the entire mentoring/training committee. In-depth interviews (IDIs) with female adolescent FP clients ages 16-20 with a recent IPV/RC (n= 20), and focus groups (FGs) (n=2; 6-8 participants per group) with FP counselors in 2 comparable urban community health centers to identify perceptions of prevalence and impact of IPV and RC among adolescent clients and barriers to identifying IPV and RC. FGs with FP counselors from the participating community health centers will be conducted (n=2; 6-8 participants per group). FP counselors from these community health centers will be purposely selected to participate based on having provided FP services for at least 10 female adolescent clients in the past 6 months. At intervention sites, FP counselors will deliver the intervention integrated into standard-of-care practice; at control sites FP counselors will deliver solely standard-of-care services. Analyses specific to participants ages 16-20 will provide findings to guide consideration of ARCHES as an effective strategy to improve the reproductive health and reduce GBV among adolescents in this region.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
Jovenes Sanos
FP counselors in intervention clinics will a) provide counseling and education regarding risk of partner detection of FP methods, and women's and girls' strategies to use FP methods to minimize partner detection risk integrated into standard FP counseling, b) make brief inquiries to allow clients the opportunity to disclose experiences of RC and IPC (i.e., screening), c) provide method-specific counseling based on this information and the method chosen by the client, d) provide supported linkage of IPV survivors to local IPV support services (i.e. warm referral), and e) distribute palm-sized educational materials on RC and IPV, as well as IPV services.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Recent RC RC consisted of two elements, pregnancy coercion and birth control sabotage. Pregnancy coercion was assessed using via 5 dichotomous items. Birth control sabotage was assessed via 5 dichotomous items measuring experiences of partner interference with contraception to promote pregnancy. Change from prior 3 months (baseline) and 3-month follow-up
Secondary Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Recent IPV is defined as violence in the past 3 months and Past IPV as violence in the past 12 months with participant's primary partner. a) Physical IPV: "pushed, pulled, slapped, held you down; punched you with fist or something that could hurt you; kicked or dragged you; tried to strangle or burn you; threatened you with a knife, gun, other weapon; attacked you with knife, gun, other weapon?" b) Sexual IPV: "used verbal threats to force you to have sex; physically forced you to have sex; or coerced you to perform other sexual acts when you did not want to?". Prior 3 months and prior 12 months
Secondary Contraception discontinuation Items assessing discontinuation of use of method of contraception that participant reported using during prior 6 months or 12 months Prior 6 months and 12 months
Secondary Contraception self-efficacy Modified HIV risk reduction self-efficacy scale, which measures participants' reports of belief that she can enact certain contraceptive behaviors. This is a 4-item scale where each item has a 3-point measure from 0-2 with a score of 2 being very confident, 1 being somewhat confident, and 0 being not at all confident, for a total score range of 0-8. Baseline and 3-month follow-up
Secondary Contraception delivery Report of receiving modern contraception method during clinic visit immediately preceding survey. Immediate post-intervention
Secondary Biased and coercive FP provider practices Items to assess whether specified coercive or discriminatory behaviors were experienced from a FP provider during clinic visit immediately preceding survey. Immediate post-intervention
Secondary Knowledge of IPV services Items assessing reported knowledge of listed local services for women and girls experiencing IPV Present, assessed at baseline, 3-month follow-up
Secondary Utilization of IPV services among those reporting IPV Items assessing whether participant called or visited a listed local service for women or girls experiencing IPV- only assessed for participants reporting history of IPV. Prior 3 months and 6 months
