Final Report: Safety and Feasibility of Community-Based Distribution of Depo Provera in Nakasongola, Uganda

by

Authors: Stanback, J., Mbonye, A., LeMelle, J.

The goal of this intervention was to improve access to contraceptive services in rural Nakasongola, Uganda, two hours north of the capital, by assessing the safety, quality and feasibility of DMPA provision by community reproductive health workers as compared with DMPA provided in clinics. The findings from this research reinforce the wealth of experience from other regions suggesting that well-trained CHWS can safely provide contraceptive injections.
