Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this research is to conduct a small matched cluster control trial of an intervention designed to address reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancy (ARCHES - Addressing Reproductive Coercion within Healthcare Settings) adapted to the Mexican cultural and family planning healthcare context ( renamed Jovenes Sanos) in order to provide initial data regarding acceptability, feasibility and efficacy in this high need low-and-middle-income country.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The project consortium will implement the ARCHES model across two community health centers in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. A 2-armed pilot study of ARCHES (adapted) will be conducted with 80 female FP clients (40 intervention, 40 control) ages 16-20 drawn from 2 comparable community health centers randomly assigned to either intervention or control (i.e. standard of care). Baseline data will be collected prior to routine FP service delivery, with a short exit survey conducted immediately following the clients' FP appointment (ARCHES or standard FP counseling will be provided during this visit). Follow-up data will be collected at 3-months post-intervention. Data at each time point will be collected via a 30-minute audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) in Spanish. Data will also be collected to assess qualities of program implementation (i.e., process evaluation) to ensure implementation of the program as intended as well as unforeseen barriers to implementation. Creation of procedures for data collection, review of quality control data, and interpretation of findings will occur in collaboration with the entire mentoring/training committee. In-depth interviews (IDIs) with female adolescent FP clients ages 16-20 with a recent IPV/RC (n= 20), and focus groups (FGs) (n=2; 6-8 participants per group) with FP counselors in 2 comparable urban community health centers to identify perceptions of prevalence and impact of IPV and RC among adolescent clients and barriers to identifying IPV and RC. FGs with FP counselors from the participating community health centers will be conducted (n=2; 6-8 participants per group). FP counselors from these community health centers will be purposely selected to participate based on having provided FP services for at least 10 female adolescent clients in the past 6 months. At intervention sites, FP counselors will deliver the intervention integrated into standard-of-care practice; at control sites FP counselors will deliver solely standard-of-care services. Analyses specific to participants ages 16-20 will provide findings to guide consideration of ARCHES as an effective strategy to improve the reproductive health and reduce GBV among adolescents in this region.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard Family Planning

Counseling Clients receive standard FP counseling services.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Jovenes Sanos Intervention in FP Counseling

Clients receive the Jovenes Sanos intervention in addition to standard FP counseling services.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Jovenes Sanos

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

FP counselors in intervention clinics will a) provide counseling and education regarding risk of partner detection of FP methods, and women's and girls' strategies to use FP methods to minimize partner detection risk integrated into standard FP counseling, b) make brief inquiries to allow clients the opportunity to disclose experiences of RC and IPC (i.e., screening), c) provide method-specific counseling based on this information and the method chosen by the client, d) provide supported linkage of IPV survivors to local IPV support services (i.e. warm referral), and e) distribute palm-sized educational materials on RC and IPV, as well as IPV services.
