An effectiveness-implementation trial of a peer mentorship intervention to help women navigate barriers to contraceptive use in rural Uganda
REFNo: HS7355ES
Main objective
: Our main aim is to increase women’s ability to overcome barriers to contraceptive use and to support adoption of self-injectable contraception. After promising findings in our pilot study, we propose to build on our strong, ongoing partnership between Makerere University in Uganda and the University of California, San Francisco to test “I-CAN” intervention on a larger scale.
Objectives
1. To test the effectiveness of a peer mentorship intervention on contraceptive use and contraceptive self-injection (Aim 1).
2. To examine the process of implementing I-CAN intervention; the ICAN’s reach to mentees, differential effectiveness, adoption and maintenance by mentors, implementation fidelity and innovations, and contextual factors (Aim 2)
3. To examine the cost-effectiveness of the peer mentorship intervention versus standard of care (counselling by health facility or community health workers) in supporting contraceptive use and contraceptive self-injection (Aim 3).
