Pilot Test
Scale-up
(N=96) (N=286) (N=37)
• 2nd injection continuation rates similar to pilot (3 calls)• 1st year continuation (4th injection) likely to be higher with
telephonic support than current national average of 23%

Lessons Learned
• Cost for 1 year of follow-up per client: $5-6
• Call charges are only 20% of the total cost of operating ahelpline
• Costs will decrease further with improvement in vernaculartexting
• Many unsuccessful call-back attempts increasecosts, decrease efficiency and impact
• Nearly half the call-back attempts are unsuccessful (out ofservice or no answer); requires rescheduling
