Brief Summary

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

To evaluate the impact of a training to ASHAs on person-centered care (PCC) for family planning (FP).

Detailed Description

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

ASHAs will be provided with a training on family planning (FP) counseling and method options. Half of the group will receive additional trainings on person-centered care (PCC) principles and respectful care while the other half of the group will not receive this additional training. Women working with both the control ASHAs (FP trained) and Interventions ASHAs (FP+PCC trained) will be surveyed following their interactions with the ASHA to understand the quality of their experience with the ASHA and whether the woman has taken up a FP method of her choice following interaction with the ASHA.
