Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter randomized trial will enroll women at three federal family planning clinics in Islamabad who present for early removal of a copper-T IUD or a Jadelle implant. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive standardized, culturally sensitive counseling aimed at addressing concerns and encouraging continuation, or to receive standard care where the device is removed on request without counseling. The primary outcome is continuation of the LARC method after the counseling encounter, compared between the two groups. Recruitment begins December 15, 2025, and providers at intervention sites receive specific training in the structured counseling protocol.
