The main objective of the evaluation was to assess the effect of providing injectable and HIV risk counseling messages on contraceptive knowledge and behavior during a three month pilot intervention in ten healthcare facilities in Tanzania.

The evaluation assessed the effect of providing injectable and HIV risk counseling messages on contraceptive knowledge and uptake during a three month pilot intervention. The intervention was conducted September-November 2018 in ten healthcare facilities located in the Iringa and Njombe regions of Tanzania. Data collection for the evaluation occurred November-December 2018 and included 471 client exit interviews, 26 healthcare provider interviews, and the extraction of monthly aggregate service statistics for 12 months prior to the intervention and three months of the intervention. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to assess quantitative interview data. Thematic qualitative assessment was used to assess qualitative interview data from healthcare providers. Interrupted time series analysis was used to assess changes in the trend of monthly contraceptive uptake.
