Before
The study will be a randomized controlled trial with two study arms: clients who will receive the standard of care for family planning service provision offered at the partner organization's private hospitals, and clients who will additionally be invited to participate in a mobile-based platform for enhanced family planning counseling and support over a duration of 7-weeks.
Women between 18 and 40 years old are eligible for inclusion if they have sought care at a Jacaranda Health facility and obtained a new method of family planning, defined as a method that the client was not using directly prior to her consultation. Women must provide a phone number by which they can receive SMS message and phone calls.

Follow up surveys will be administered at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. The first follow up survey will be cross randomized at 3 months with study arms: clients who will receive the first follow up survey at 3 months postpartum and clients who receive their first follow up surveys at 6 months postpartum.
