Promotion of Family Planning Methods Through an Interactive Platform Offered in Growth and Development Control Services
Family planning and the use of contraceptive methods are of the main strategies to reduce
 maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, because they can prevent unplanned
 pregnancies, teenage pregnancies and abortions in dangerous conditions. It is also a tool
 that contributes to development as it improves children's health, improves access to early
 childhood education, empowers women and contributes to reducing poverty as it improves
 economic conditions.

 Currently the use of modern contraceptive methods has increased worldwide, in Latin America
 and the Caribbean the use of modern contraceptive methods has remained at 66.07% from 2008 to
 2015. However, the number of women who do not want to get pregnant and that do not use a
 contraceptive method is still high - 214 million women of childbearing age in developed
 countries.

 In our country according to the ENDES 2016 survey, the number of women who used a
 contraceptive method decreased by 0.7 percent compared to 2012, of which 54.3 percent used
 some modern contraceptive method and 21.9 percent some method traditional.

 The unmet demand for family planning in 2016 was 6.0%, affecting mainly women from the lowest
 poverty quintile (7.4%) and those living in rural areas (6.8%).

 Of the women who were surveyed and did not use a contraceptive method, 80.6% did not talk
 about family planning either at home or in a health facility in the last 12 months. Only
 16.3% of non-users were women who attended a health facility and received information on
 family planning.

 Through this study the investigators propose the design and evaluation of an interactive
 platform to promote modern contraceptive methods.
Sample Size: Sample size of 176 participants (interventional group=88, control group=88), it
 is possible to detect minimum differences of 5% to 20%.

 Statistical analysis plan: The data collected will be entered into a database in Microsoft
 Excel, to be analyzed by the Epi Info statistical program. The qualitative variables will be
 analyzed by frequencies and percentages, the quantitative variables by relative risk.
