  • - The study in Kenya explored the feasibility of digital self-injection training for contraceptives, using WhatsApp video calls to teach 11 participants who were already familiar with injectable contraception.
  • - Participants successfully learned to self-administer the contraceptive after remote training, but access to quality digital devices was a noted barrier to effective training.
  • - Overall, the training was found to be both feasible and acceptable, with valuable lessons identified for improving future digital training methods; however, further research is needed to assess broader applicability and effectiveness.
