What this trial studies

This project aims to enhance access to contraception following abortion by developing and testing a telemedicine service for contraceptive counseling (TECC). It includes a pilot study and a multicenter randomized controlled trial in South Africa and Kenya. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of TECC in increasing the uptake of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) compared to traditional in-person counseling. Additionally, it will assess user satisfaction, preferences, and rates of unintended pregnancies and abortions following the counseling.
