Summary
This study will test whether a hybrid family planning counseling program—combining one in-person session before birth and two online sessions after birth—can improve maternal health. Researchers will enroll 96 first-time pregnant women in Turkey and follow them for 12 months. They will measure attitudes toward family planning, depression risk, and sexual quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Hybrid family planning counseling (in-person and online sessions)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this counseling model could help women make informed contraceptive choices, reduce unintended pregnancies, and improve maternal health after childbirth.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (96 participants) in a single hospital in Turkey. Results may not apply to other settings, and the counseling may not significantly change outcomes.
