This study investigates how PWLC engage in self-tracking practices and how they utilise and negotiate the data generated. Based on 33 semi-stru…

Drawing on data from interviews with and solicited dairies from Dutch app users, I analyze contraceptive self-tracking practices as a form of self-care that renegotiates …

By relating tracking dat…
