Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized clinical trial will study subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA sc) self-administration at two Planned Parenthood affiliates serving diverse patient populations. Prior studies demonstrate that DMPA self-injection is safe, effective, feasible, and acceptable for women and adolescents. A total of 400 female patients (ages 15-44) requesting DMPA will be randomized to self-administration of DMPA sc or clinic administration (usual care). Subjects will be followed for one year. The primary study outcome is DMPA continuation at one year by self-report in both study arms. Secondary outcomes include patient-reported satisfaction with treatment; satisfaction with home use; and costs associated with contraceptive care. The investigators hypothesize higher continuation rates among self-injection users compared to patients who receive standard care. Secondary exploratory hypotheses include higher patient satisfaction and lower costs associated with contraceptive care among self-injection users.
