The study was implemented in three regions of Eastern Madagascar – Aloatra Mangoro, Atsinanana, and Analanjirofo. Study participants were CHWs supported by USAID’s Santenet2 project, implemented from 2008 to 2013. All CHWs in the sample had been trained to provide injectable contraceptives in addition to oral contraceptives as part of the Santenet2 project. Out of the 1,056 CHWs trained in injectables in the three study regions, 350 (33%) were excluded from the sample because they were no longer working as a CHW. We then excluded the top 5% of CHWs measured by number of FP clients. We expect this to increase statistical power by reducing outcome variance attributable to outliers. Two hard-to-reach districts were also excluded for practical reasons. The final experimental sample consisted of 622 CHWs.
