Abbreviations: LARC, long-acting reversible contraception; RLP, reproductive life planning; RLP+, reproductive life planning in combination with contraceptive action planning.

aBaseline includes all 984 randomized women. Follow-up at 24 months includes 733 women; 251 women who did not contribute data at 24 months included women who were ineligible due to an out-of-country move, pregnancy, or hysterectomy (n = 144), were intending pregnancy in the next 12 months (n = 55), or did not answer the pregnancy intention question.

bGEE model including factors for survey (baseline vs 24 months), study group (control, RLP, RLP+), and the interaction between survey and study group. P value from a contrast for overall comparison between baseline and 24-month surveys. This same significant contrast was seen between surveys within study groups except for within the RLP+ group for any method. There were no differences between groups within or between surveys.
