    Effect of self-administration versus provider-administered injection of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate on continuation rates in Malawi: A randomised controlled trial

    The authors found that women who self-administered subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) led to a more than 50 percent increase in pregnancy protection through 12 months compared with provider-administered injection. The findings demonstrate that self-injection can address the stubborn problem of early contraceptive discontinuation and that community health workers can safely train women to self-inject. Malawi plans to introduce DMPA-SC self-injection based on these positive findings.

    Brief participant-centered convergence interviews integrate self-reports, product returns, and pharmacokinetic results to improve adherence measurement in MTN-017

    Studies of HIV prevention products face challenges with adherence and adherence reporting. This paper presents the convergence interviews that were developed and implemented during the Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) 017 study. The authors demonstrated that brief convergence interviews and pharmacokinetic data convergence interviews were feasible in adherence counseling sessions and, in general, participants would clarify with the counselors any discrepancies between adherence measures.

    Implementation of policies and strategies for control of noncommunicable diseases in Malawi: Challenges and opportunities

    Current services for noncommunicable diseases (NCD) in Malawi focus on facility-based screening and clinical services rather than active screening, prevention, and community awareness and outreach. Questionnaire responses indicated inadequate resources for NCD services. Policy and practice implications include better integration of services within the existing infrastructure with emphasis on capacity building, innovative funding solutions and a stronger, more comprehensive data management system.
