Title: Home-based Delivery of the Contraceptive Implant in Postpartum Guatemalan Women: a Cluster-randomized Trial
Brief Summary: Abstract

Background: Postpartum contraception is important to prevent unintended and closely spaced pregnancies following childbirth.

Methods: This study is a cluster-randomized trial of communities in rural Guatemala where women receive ante- and postnatal care through a community-based nursing program. When nurses visit women for their postpartum visit in the intervention clusters, instead of providing only routine care that includes postpartum contraceptive education and counseling, the nurses will also bring a range of barrier, short-acting, and long-acting contraceptives that will be offered and administered in the home setting, after routine clinical care is provided.

Discussion: A barrier to postpartum contraception is access to medications and devices. The study removes some access barriers (distance, time, cost) by providing contraception in the home. The community nurses were trained to place implants, which are a type of long-acting reversible contraceptive method that was previously only available in the closest town, which is about an hour away by vehicle. Therefore, the study examines how home-based delivery of routinely available contraceptives and the less routinely available implant may be associated with increased uptake of postpartum contraception within three months of childbirth. The potential implications of this study include: nurses may be able to be trained to safely provide contraceptives, including place implants, in the home setting, and provision of home-based contraception may be an effective way of delivering an evidence-based intervention for preventing unintended and closely spaced pregnancies in the postpartum period.
