Postpartum family planning in Rwanda: a cost effectiveness analysis; extended data

This analysis sought to evaluate the impact of current usage rates and method types, this cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) compared the most frequently used family planning methods in Rwanda broken into two categories, longer-acting reversible contraception (LARC) (injections and subdermal implants) and shorter-acting reversible contraceptives (non-LARC) (pills and condoms). Weighted value for tree established based on probability with consideration for Rwanda LARC prevalent methods only; “The three nodes stemming from the “LARC+Non-LARC” arm are weighted. LARC (0.48) +Non-LARC (0.29) + No Contraception (0.23) = 1, or 100%; the same method applied to the “Non-LARC Only” arm. Decision nodes must equal 1; thus, as defined by our parameters of the family methods included in this analysis, values were weighted based on percent uptake (proportion of women choosing selecting the method).
