Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Home pregnancy tests - which now cost less than 10 cents each - have the potential to facilitate FP uptake and significantly improve reproductive, maternal and child health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda. These tests are easy to administer, disposable, inexpensive, and have a low false positive rate. Yet, for women living in rural areas in sub-Saharan countries, these tests are typically unavailable outside of health centers or they are prohibitively expensive.
This study will investigate women's underlying beliefs about pregnancy status and examine how providing access to home-based pregnancy tests - thus facilitating earlier resolution of uncertainty of pregnancy status - influences such beliefs and decisions to take up family planning (FP) or seek appropriate pregnancy services.
The results will inform the design of a larger study in the future.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pregnancy tests at baseline & follow-up
We offer free pregnancy test service at baseline and at follow-up survey.
Pregnancy test at Baseline
Among respondents who are randomly selected to receive a free home pregnancy test service, they will be offered the chance to take the test in the presence of the enumerator. Specifically, this would mean they would be given a cup to collect a sample of urine. The respondent would do so privately, then bring the cup back to the enumerator who would dip the home pregnancy tests and assist with interpreting the result. However, respondents can decline to take the test with the enumerator. Treatment assignment will be stratified by whether respondent use modern family planning at baseline.
Pregnancy test at follow up survey
We will provide a free pregnancy tests in for the future use, they are randomly selected from intervention #1 treatment group.
