Behavioral: Family planning and infant immunization service integration
The approach involved integration of services through health surveillance assistant (HSA) outreach as well as through the health facility platform. The HSAs provided door to door FP services in their designated communities as well as provided integrated FP and Immunisation services at village clinics and outreach sessions. At outreach sessions, mothers were offered both routine infant immunization and family planning services (pills, condoms, injectables plus referrals for other methods). At health facilities, mothers who sought routine infant immunization services were offered same-day family planning services and those who seek family planning services are also screened for infant immunization schedule completion / need for infant immunization services. HSAs and health facility providers were trained on FP-immunization service integration and were monitored through regular supportive supervision visits.
