TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Effectiveness of a package of postpartum family planning interventions on the uptake of contraceptive methods until 9 months postpartum in Burkina Faso
Official scientific title Effectiveness of a package of postpartum family planning interventions on the uptake of contraceptive methods until 9 months postpartum in Burkina Faso and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial The objective of this study is to identify a package of postpartum family planning interventions and determine its effect on the use of contraceptive methods during the first year postpartum. The research entails a complex intervention design with three study phases: a pre-formative phase, a formative phase and an intervention phase. These phases are interconnected and have their own objectives, methodologies and results. Given the complex nature of this intervention, we apply the recommendations from the Medical Research Council (2008) in the process of developing the intervention, determining its feasibility, implementation, and evaluation. The specific objective of the pre-formative phase is to establish a sampling frame of potential study sites by mapping primary health centers according to pre-established criteria (6 months) The specific objective of the formative phase is to identify through a participatory approach a PPFP intervention package to be implemented during the intervention phase (12 months) The specific objective of the intervention phase is to determine, through a cluster randomized controlled trial design, the effect of the PPFP intervention package on the uptake of contraceptive methods during the extended postpartum period, in comparison with the standard of care. The study concludes with qualitative research that is aimed at identifying operational reasons for success or failure in the implementation of PPFP services (18 months)
