AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility, functionality and acceptability of a mobile 
      application (app), the World Health Organization (WHO) Postpartum Family Planning 
      (PPFP) Compendium, in clinical care. METHOD: This prospective qualitative study 
      was conducted among family planning providers routinely delivering PPFP care in 
      Accra, Ghana. We conducted in-depth interviews at baseline and 3 months after app 
      introduction. We elicited expected technological, psychological and environmental 
      barriers to use, actual use in clinical settings, and feedback for app 
      improvement. With inter-coder reliability, we analyzed the content of interview 
      transcripts. RESULTS: Twenty providers participated in baseline interviews, and 
      19 participated in follow-up interviews. At baseline, providers did not have 
      significant technological barriers to its use and felt the app was acceptable, 
      but were concerned about the appropriateness of using an app during clinical 
      care. At 3-month follow-up, 18 out of 19 participants reported using the app 
      weekly, and found the app acceptable for use in clinical care. Providers 
      recommended expanding clinical content and including similar guidance relevant to 
      times outside the postpartum period. CONCLUSION: Use of a PPFP counseling app to 
      aid family planning providers in clinical care delivery is feasible and 
      acceptable. Providers recommended inclusion of similar guidance relevant to times 
      outside the postpartum period.
