Evaluation of a Contraceptive Counseling Intervention in Deprived Neighborhoods: SIRIAN Randomized Controlled Trial

A culturally adapted counselling session lasting up to 45 minutes at the community setting. The interview is based in WHO guidelines and communication tools, in social cognitive theory and in motivational interviewing. Along the interview, topics follow easy to read leaflets prepared to discuss the main benefits of contraception from the view of the immigrant communities, with guided discussions on family planning in the life course, the amount of time required to care children, the economic resources that newborn and children need, and an assessment of the knowledge on the contraceptive methods, and of their current use. Contraceptive methods, abortion and emergency contraception are discussed. Primary health care centre and sexual and reproductive health clinic access is reinforced.
