This study will adapt the Game Changers peer advocacy training model for family planning context and pilot test the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of the intervention to empower female contraception users to advocate for contraception use among women in their social networks who have unmet need for contraception.
The investigators will conduct a pilot RCT of Game Changers for Family Planning (GC-FP) with 40 female modern contraceptive (MC) users (index participants) at one rural public clinic, with 20 randomly assigned to receive the intervention (in 2 groups of 10) and 20 to the wait-list control; enrollment and randomization will be stratified by age and relationship status. Each index will recruit up to 3 social network members (alters) with unmet need for MC (max. total=120). Data will be collected at baseline and month 6 from all participants; primary outcome is alter MC use at month 6.

| Game Changers for Family Planning | Behavioral | Game Changers for Family Planning (GC-FP) intervention. The intervention will consist of 6 group sessions. The sessions will focus on stigma reduction, disclosure decision making, knowledge, and building skills for advocacy. The 2-hour, weekly sessions will be facilitated by 2 trained peers who are MC users, and conducted in Luganda using a structured manual, and group format to facilitate: sharing of experiences to build support, modeling and motivation; group problem solving and role playing to build skills and self-efficacy; and homework between sessions to practice skills and generate experiences to be processed in the group. |

The investigators will create public use data files that include a deidentified quantitative dataset that includes longitudinal participant-level survey scales and social network assessment data (related to the primary research questions around family planning, and moderators and mediators of the associations between the intervention and contraception use); and an excel spreadsheet with the qualitative codebook with representative quotes on key themes by subgroup, linked to ID. Only predictors and outcomes data (e.g., contraception use) will be shared; additional variables (e.g., socio-demographic characteristics) will not be included to prevent the potential and unintentional de-identification of participants.
one year after completion of study, for 12 months
