Summary
This study will test a program called "Mittin" to see if it helps women using birth control in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, manage their fertility in a way that matches their personal preferences. About 2,715 women aged 15-49 from public health centers will either receive the Mittin program or standard care. Researchers will compare their experiences through surveys over 8 months to see if the program improves satisfaction and alignment with their contraceptive choices.
