Interventions
Game Changers for Family Planning (GC-FP) intervention. The intervention will consist of 6 group sessions. The sessions will focus on stigma reduction, disclosure decision making, knowledge, and building skills for advocacy. The 2-hour, weekly sessions will be facilitated by 2 trained peers who are MC users, and conducted in Luganda using a structured manual, and group format to facilitate: sharing of experiences to build support, modeling and motivation; group problem solving and role playing to build skills and self-efficacy; and homework between sessions to practice skills and generate experiences to be processed in the group.

The investigators will create public use data files that include a deidentified quantitative dataset that includes longitudinal participant-level survey scales and social network assessment data (related to the primary research questions around family planning, and moderators and mediators of the associations between the intervention and contraception use); and an excel spreadsheet with the qualitative codebook with representative quotes on key themes by subgroup, linked to ID. Only predictors and outcomes data (e.g., contraception use) will be shared; additional variables (e.g., socio-demographic characteristics) will not be included to prevent the potential and unintentional de-identification of participants.
