Study Overview Summary This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of structured counseling in improving the continuation rates of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) among women in Islamabad, Pakistan, who present to family planning clinics for early removal of their contraception devices (copper-T IUD or Jadelle implant). The study, starting December 15, 2025, will recruit women from three federal government-approved clinics. The trial will randomly assign participants to either an intervention group, where they will receive culturally sensitive counseling to encourage continued use of LARC, or a control group, where contraception will be removed upon client request without counseling. The goal is to determine if structured counseling can increase the likelihood of women continuing their LARC method.
