This paper analyzes a randomized controlled trial of interventions addressing two barriers to long-acting reversible contraceptive adoption, credit, and informational constraints. The study offered discounts to the clients of a women’s hospital in Yaoundé, Cameroon, and cross-randomized a counseling strategy that encourages shared decision-making using a tablet-based app that ranks modern methods. Discounts increased uptake by 50 percent, with larger effects for adolescents. Shared decision-making tripled the share of clients adopting a long-acting reversible contraceptive at full price, from 11 to 35 percent, and discounts had no incremental impact in this group.CC BY 3.0 IGOFAMILY PLANNINGFERTILITYLONG-ACTING REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTIVEHETEROGENOUS TREATMENT EFFECTCOUNSELINGWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-9777
