Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
Households in Bujumbura will first be screened for women who meet our eligibility criteria, and identified eligible women who consent to participate will be recruited into the study. Recruitment will continue until 2,000 eligible women have been selected. Following recruitment, a baseline survey will be administered to eligible women. Women will be randomized to either the control or the treatment arm once baseline surveys have been completed. Women who are randomized into the treatment arm will begin receiving the family planning intervention no more than one month after randomization. The intervention will be administered to women for a total of 12 months following randomization. Detailed follow-up surveys will be conducted 12 months and 24 months following roll-out of the intervention.
