Optimizing approaches to implementing self-injection of DMPA-SC within the contraceptive method mix: a case of Uganda
REFNo: HS1087ES
AIM: The aim of the study is to optimize approaches to implementing self-injection of DMPA-SC among various contraceptive choices and answer crucial questions about whether SI can enable contraceptive use for women who face barriers and enhance empowerment in Uganda.
4.1 Objectives:
1. Identify who may be the most likely to benefit from the scale-up of DMPA-SC self-injection.
2. Develop effective approaches for supporting the use of DMPA-SC self-injection in a way that helps women overcome barriers and optimize facilitators to contraceptive decision-making and use.
3. Understand the role self-injection can play in promoting empowered contraceptive decision-making and autonomy.
NB: SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OUTLINED BELOW FORM PHASE ONE OF THE STUDY AND FOCUSES ON OBJECTIVE 1.
4.11 Specific objectives for Phase one:
I. To elucidate the barriers and facilitators to contraceptive decision-making and use among different groups (including identification of groups who face the most barriers), and identification of women with the most interest in SI across study sites of Mayuge and Oyam districts in Uganda.
II. To better understand the context within which DMPA-SC is being rolled out and identify where opportunities lie to conduct research into women’s interest and experience with the method alongside implementation efforts.
