Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Half of the eligible clinics in each country (233 in total) are randomly assigned to receive the intervention, while the remaining half serves as control. The objective of the evaluation is to estimate the impact of the intervention on a range of outcomes related to quality of family planning care among young, unmarried, and nulliparous women. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will increase the share of young, unmarried, and nulliparous women who received counseling on a range of methods, counseling on long acting methods, and who received their preferred method.
The investigators will collect four types of data to evaluate the intervention: 1) provider surveys, 2) mystery clients' visits, 3) direct observations of client-provider interactions, and 4) qualitative interviews with clients, providers, and implementors.
