Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Indigenous profile

Clinics receive simulated patients (SPs) enacting the indigenous profile, and interpreting a standardized script with a biographical and clinical background. The indigenous SP wears a lliclla (a traditional woven cloth that covers the back and shoulders), long braids, a woven cardigan and loose pants; she uses no make-up and, her patterns of speech are slower and her posture and movement more rigid than the mestizo SP. The script indicates that SPs do not want to have any more children and that her choice of method is the pill.

BEHAVIORAL

Mestizo profile

Clinics receive simulated patients (SPs) enacting the mestizo profile, and interpreting a standardized script with a biographical and clinical background. The mestizo SP does not wear a lliclla (a traditional woven cloth that covers the back and shoulders) or long braids, but a pony tail or loose hair; she wears make-up and, a vest made of polar fleece, tight pants and culturally salient accessories; her patterns of speech are faster and her posture and movement less rigid than the indigenous SP. The script indicates that SPs do not want to have any more children and that her choice of method is the pill.
