India: Mobiles to Increase Continuation Rates of DMPA

This study analyzed the effects of telephonic follow-up to reduce contraceptive discontinuation, specifically for the injectable DMPA. The pilot test demonstrated a clear dose-response relationship, where trained counselor follow-ups by phone positively impacted DMPA continuation rates. The presentation was made by Ramakrishnan Ganesan at the mHealth in the SHOPS Project: Case Studies and Lessons Learned special event at the Ronald Reagan Building in June 2014.
