Sponsor's own description
Kenya has made tremendous strides in improving contraceptive prevalence rate for the last 20 years, however the rate of contraceptive discontinuation as remained almost constant at 1 out of 3 women using a family planning method. Contraceptive discontinuation increases unmet need of family planning. Hence understanding the underlying reasons for discontinuation helps in designing programs that improve method satisfaction. The primary goal of the study is to understand the factors leading to contraceptive discontinuation and switching among women of reproductive age (15 - 49 years) in Migori and Kitui counties, Kenya. The secondary goal is to assess whether a client-centered intervention focusing on contraceptive counseling can reduce modern contraceptive discontinuation and increase client satisfaction with use of modern contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age in the two counties. The specific objectives are to: 1. To assess the quality of family planning services offered in health facilities in Migori and Kitui counties, Kenya 2. To explore describe barriers and facilitators of modern contraceptive discontinuation and method switch among women of reproductive age in Migori and Kitui counties. 3. To assess the client-centered intervention focusing on contraceptive counseling in reducing contraceptive discontinuation among women of reproductive age in Migori and Kitui counties, Kenya
