PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Data was analyzed with the assumption that participants who were "lost to follow-up" had discontinued DMPA use.

The study was designed to examine if increasing accessibility to DMPA by decreasing the need for multiple clinic visits will increase participant continuation of DMPA

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3, 9, 12 months

Population: 115 women w 12 month follow-up data (76 and 39) . 10 participants LTFU in self-administration group, and 7 participants LTFU in the clinic administration group.

The study was designed to examine the increasing accessibility to DMPA by decreasing the need for multiple clinic visits will increase method continuation rates at all other endpoints.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6, 12 months

Population: Data were not collected. No analysis was performed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 0-12 months

Population: Data were not collected. No analysis was performed.

In total, how much time did the participant spend getting ready for and giving the injection. This includes the time the participant spent getting ready to come to the clinic, getting to the appointment, and waiting for the provider for the control group.
