    Abstract

    This study employs a cluster randomized control trial and administrative health center data to investigate the effects of authorizing community health workers to deliver a new generation of contraceptive injections directly to women during routine home visits following comprehensive training. We observe a significant increase of approximately 70 percent in the administered quantity of these injections, which provide average protection for three months. However, our results suggest that the intervention does not produce a statistically significant change in contraceptive coverage because of significant substitution effects away from long-acting contraceptive implants and intrauterine devices that would have been introduced otherwise.
