The goal of the study, which was funded by\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/ciff.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Children\u2019s Investment Fund Foundation<\/a>\u00a0(CIFF), was to identify which waste disposal methods and training approaches are acceptable and feasible and can help address method discontinuation, as injectables are one of the most common methods discontinued within a year. This research also captured youth\u00a0experiences with self-injection,\u00a0as\u00a0nearly half of the self-injectors interviewed were youth (ages 15\u201219 years).<\/p>\n<p>The study\u2019s results showed that most participants planned to dispose of used units according to instructions, which advised storing\u00a0used units in puncture-proof containers and returning\u00a0them to health workers at facilities or in the community. However, despite their desire to follow directions, most participants said they would have preferred to dispose of units in latrines because they worried about needlestick injuries to others, and because it was convenient. Despite their concerns about needles, no participants reported that\u00a0either\u00a0they or others experienced such an injury. The study also found that very few clients practiced before self-injecting for the first time, though most youth and half of adults said they would have liked to. Sometimes, informational self-injection leaflets\u2014which included a calendar\u2014were not provided during training, which affected clients\u2019\u00a0ability to remember when to re-inject. Youth found self-injection acceptable, feasible, and beneficial;\u00a0most preferred the privacy of individual versus group training.<\/p>\n<p>Among other recommendations, researchers suggested that youth-friendly waste management options should be considered, and all clients should be offered the opportunity to practice injecting on something, such as a condom filled with salt or sugar, before they self-inject for the first time. Offering those trained in a group the opportunity to self-inject privately should be considered out of respect for privacy, especially for youth.

As funding allows, this information will be gathered through focus group discussions and interviews with clients as part of the supportive supervision visits to inform programming. Also, some indicators on long-term satisfaction are being considered for the annual family planning client satisfaction surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Finally, both public- and private-sector providers will ramp up efforts to raise awareness about DMPA-SC and self-injection, particularly now, as a self-care family planning method that can help women avoid busy clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic.
