Assessing loss to follow-up in the MObile Technology for Improved Family Planning (MOTIF) randomised controlled trial

ConclusionFuture studies assessing contraception use might anticipate increased attrition amongst younger participants, those of lower socio-economic status or those who do not provide additional contact details. Attrition could be reduced by collecting as many contact details as possible, by providing incentives and possibly by enhanced counselling to groups at higher risk of LTFU on recruitment. Multiple imputation should be considered in addition to complete case analysis if LTFU not missing at random is expected or observed.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov,NCT01823861.
