Intervention (Public) Our intervention provides free family planning consultation and contraception, with and without deadlines, to women after childbirth. Our intervention provides free family planning consultation and contraception, with and without deadlines, to women after childbirth. An addition to the intervention that began in November provides reminders to start family planning after childbirth.
Experimental Design (Public) Women (prenatal clients at our partner maternity clinic) will be randomized into one of three groups, which will all receive basic information about family planning: 1) a group receiving a voucher for free family planning (women may choose among a menu of family planning products) with a deadline that the voucher must be used by the eight week after their expected due date, 2) a group receiving a voucher for free family planning with no deadline, 3) a control group that receives neither. (The deadline is set to be 8 weeks after the expected due date in order to allow 6 weeks for redemption for women who deliver up to two weeks past their expected due date.)

(The deadline is set to be 8 weeks after the expected due date in order to allow 6 weeks for redemption for women who deliver up to two weeks past their expected due date.) In a cross-cutting randomization which begins in November 2014, we randomize individuals into two groups: 1) a treatment group that receives a reminder to start family planning 5 weeks after delivery and 2) a control group that receives no reminder. The 3 by 2 randomization design leads to 6 final treatments.
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms There will be 300 individuals in the control group, 300 individuals in the group that receives a voucher with no deadline and 300 individuals in the group that receives a voucher with a deadline. There will be 300 individuals in the control group, 300 individuals in the group that receives a voucher with no deadline and 300 individuals in the group that receives a voucher with a deadline. There will be 600 individuals in the no reminder group and 300 in the reminder group.
