NCT ID NCT06261970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether small improvements to existing health programs can help first-time mothers (ages 14-25) in Tanzania use family planning within a year after giving birth. Over 1,100 women took part, and researchers compared standard care with added support. The goal was to see if these light-touch changes increase the use of modern birth control methods.
