To evaluate the effectiveness of our pilots with supporting desired SI use, self-efficacy to SI, and women’s contraceptive decision making, among other key outcomes, we conducted mix methods evaluation of our pilot programs in Kenya, Malawi, and Uganda. Results from our Malawi and Uganda program evaluations are included in the following publications. Additional manuscripts are forthcoming.
- Feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of a human-centered design-derived intervention to improve community health workers’ contraception outreach in rural Malawi
- Improving Contraceptive Agency through Peer Social Support: Findings from a Qualitative Longitudinal Evaluation of the I-CAN Intervention in Rural Uganda
In Nigeria, our team conducted a robust evaluation of existing client-centered delivery of self-injection being implemented in public and private retail sectors of Enugu, Lagos and Plateau States. In these three States, we conducted two rounds of each data collection activity:
- Mystery client interactions
- Provider and user IDIs
- Client exit interviews (baseline + 2 rounds of follow-up)
Results from program evaluation in Nigeria are featured in our ICAN Nigeria brief available here and included in the following publications with more manuscripts forthcoming,
- Setbacks in continuing self-injection of DMPA-SC: a descriptive study of provider and mystery client reports on the DMPA-SC care-seeking experience in Nigeria
- How do pro-social tendencies and provider biases affect service delivery? Evidence from the rollout of self-injection of DMPA-SC in Nigeria
