Young Women's Experiences With Subcutaneous Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate: A Secondary Analysis of a One-Year Randomized Trial in Malawi
2020, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :Task sharing from clinic-based staff to CHWs reduces clinic-based staff's workloads—allowing more time to provide higher-level care and curative services—while also increasing access to contraception for women living in hard-to-reach places, thereby helping to address their unmet family planning needs [21]. Eligible participants were aged 18–40 years, in self-reported good general health, able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent document, willing to give contact information for follow-up, willing to have follow-up visits or interviews, willing to be randomized to the self-injection arm or provider-administered injection group, not pregnant according to the WHO guidelines, and able to meet eligibility criteria for receiving DMPA per WHO medical eligibility criteria [22–24]. Women in the self-injection group who successfully self-injected at enrollment (assessed by the provider) received three doses of DMPA-SC to take home for subsequent self-injections, whereas women in the provider-administered injection group were asked to return to the provider for injections at 3, 6, and 9 months post enrollment.
Highlights From the U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use
2018, Nursing for Women's HealthCitation Excerpt :Visual inspection of the cervix for signs or symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), in addition to a bimanual examination, should be performed before IUD placement (Curtis, Jatlaoui, et al., 2016). As reviewed earlier, a urine pregnancy test is not a prerequisite for insertion (Curtis, Jatlaoui, et al., 2016; Stanback et al., 1999). STI cultures should be collected at the time of insertion if not obtained within the past 12 months (Curtis, Jatlaoui, et al., 2016).
