BackgroundSelf-administered depot medroxyprogesterone acetate subcutaneous injectable contraception (DMPA-SC) is registered in many countries. It shows great potential for improving contraceptive access, continuation, and autonomy. However, there are challenges in rolling out this new efficacious intervention, and major implementation problems have been encountered during scale-up.ObjectiveTo describe the implementation strategies to scale up self-administered DMPA-SC and the barriers, facilitators, and outcomes of these programs.MethodRecent guidelines, including the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews, were used to design and report this review. An article or report was eligible for inclusion if it reported interventions that could scale up self-administered DMPA-SC implementation or its facilitators, barriers, or outcomes. We searched six electronic databases and the grey literature for eligible articles and reports. Two reviewers independently screened the document titles, abstracts, and full texts to identify eligible documents. Data were extracted using structured forms. Using the Effective Practice and Organization of Care (EPOC) taxonomy of health systems framework for thematic analysis, data were presented in a narrative approach.ResultsOf the 755 retrieved documents, 34 were included in this review. Most of the documents included were multi-country reports (n = 14), and all documents were published within the last 5 years (2018–2021). This review identified documents that reported interventions in all EPOC domains. The most-reported interventions were: task-sharing amongst health workforce cadres, engaged leadership, encouraging policies, training and education, DMPA-SC demand generation, integration into existing programs, improved funding mechanisms, collaboration with development partners, and supply chain strengthening. The main barriers were suboptimal funding, inadequate human resources, and poor logistics supply of DMPA-SC. There was minimal evidence of scale-up outcomes.ConclusionThis scoping review reported a wide range of interventions employed by countries and programs to scale up DMPA-SC self-administration but minimal evidence of the scale-up outcomes. Evidence from this review can help design better programs that improves access to quality family planning services to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets 3.7. However, efforts should focus on rigorous implementation research that assess scaled up self-administered DMPA-SC interventions and report their outcomes.RegistrationThe protocol for this review was registered in the protocols.io repository (https://www.protocols.io/view/a-protocol-for-a-scoping-review-of-implementation-x54v9yemmg3e/v1).
