Use Dynamic Study

The goal of this study is to foster understanding of the dynamics that drive the use and non-use of LA/PMs. Program planners can use the data to inform strategies that ensure a broader choice of family planning (FP) methods and support women's and men's reproductive intentions. Specific objectives of the study are to:

Deepen global understanding of decision-making related to LA/PMs among clients who have chosen to use (especially in low-use settings), clients with unmet need, service providers and influentials and national and local levels
Deepen understanding of differences between LA & PM decisions
Contribute contextual information to the global policy dialogue on FP programming and policies
Support reproductive health dialogue at the country level

The study was carried out in Cambodia, Malawi and Nigeria using social research methods, to reveal how people regard LA/PMs and their perceptions of effectivness, ease of access, cost and fear of side effects.
