Data
The app collects a rich set of client characteristics, including demographics, weight, and blood pressure, as well as relevant medical and birth history. It also records the client’s fertility preferences, prior experience with contraception, whether and why they seek to adopt a specific method, their preferences regarding side effects, and which method—if any—they adopted at the end of the consultation. For each method discussed during the counseling session and not chosen by the client, the app records the reason why she did not want to adopt it.We supplement these data with follow-up surveys of clients who were enrolled into an adaptive experiment that followed the study period; we will henceforth refer to this sample as the follow-up cohort. These data, collected via phone surveys, include information on quality of care during and client satisfaction with the FP counseling sessions (2-week follow-up surveys), as well as rates of method continuation and satisfaction (16-week follow-up surveys) and provide suggestive evidence on whether the method choices the clients made and the outcomes they experienced as a result of those decisions were aligned with their preferences. The follow-up cohort was counseled between the 19th of January 2021 and the 29th of June 2022, which partly overlaps with the present study period. Table S1 shows that this sample shares the same characteristics as our study sample and is similarly different than the random sample of women in the 2018 Cameroon DHS. These clients were assigned to exactly the same interventions as clients in the study sample—only the assignment probabilities to each intervention arm differed under the adaptive experiment phase.
