Continuation Rate of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) at 6 Months
Time frame: The total study duration will be eight months: the first two months will be allocated to enrolling participants and completing their baseline visits, followed by a six-month follow-up period for all enrolled clients.
The primary outcome of the study is the rate of LARC continuation in women who received either structured counseling (intervention arm) or standard care (control arm) for the continuation of their intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) or subdermal implant (Jadelle). The continuation rate will be assessed at a 6-month follow-up after the initial clinic visit. Intervention Group: Participants who
Sponsor's own description
Study Overview Summary This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of structured counseling in improving the continuation rates of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) among women in Islamabad, Pakistan, who present to family planning clinics for early removal of their contraception devices (copper-T IUD or Jadelle implant). The study, starting December 15, 2025, will recruit women from three federal government-approved clinics. The trial will randomly assign participants to either an intervention group, where they will receive culturally sensitive counseling to encourage continued use of LARC, or a control group, where contraception will be removed upon client request without counseling. The goal is to determine if structured counseling can increase the likelihood of women continuing their LARC method.
