Using Mobile Phones to Increase Continuation Rates of DMPA
To address high discontinuation rates of DMPA, a three-month injectable contraceptive, the SHOPS project established an outbound call service to support users in India. This “careline” called users to reassure them of any side effects and to remind them about when their next dose is due. The service improved the DMPA continuation rate from 32 percent among women who received no reminder calls to 96 percent among women who received three reminder calls. Leadership, a counseling algorithm, and training were key in ensuring the quality of call center operations. This presentation was given at USAID by Ram Ganesan in January 2014.

Advanced Cook Stoves Initiative
India has one of the highest burden of diseases, with much of it due to indoor air pollution. The SHOPS project markets advanced cook stoves in the country to reduce indoor air pollution and save fuel. This three-way partnership model includes a manufacturer, distributor, and microfinance institution, and involves landscaping the market, testing the feasibility of the model, pre-testing at scale in a different location, and supporting scale-up and replication. The model shows promise for commercializing advanced cook stoves in rural markets. This presentation was given at USAID by Ram Ganesan in January 2014.

Evaluation of Dimpa Injectable Contraceptive Network in India
Since 2003, USAID has funded Abt Associates to implement a program that aims to increase overall use of modern reversible methods of contraception by introducing the injectable contraceptive DMPA into the method mix. An evaluation of the program found an increase in the proportion of providers following quality-of-care protocols; providers discussing the various aspects of DMPA, along with other methods; and DMPA use among married women aged 15 to 49 years. An evaluation of the Dimpa helpline indicated that the DMPA continuation rate of the second injection increased from 30 percent among those who did not receive any follow-up call, to 70 percent among those who received a follow-up call. Additionally, sales of DMPA from network clinics and chemists grew by 70 percent from 2008 to 2012. This presentation was made by Vivek Sharma at the International Conference on Family Planning in November 2013.
