Moving Past a Legacy of Controlling Women
As the global community looks beyond the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda, there is a critical opportunity to refine and elevate indicators focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and to shift nations away from fertility and contraceptive targets. This commentary presents four key frameworks—drawn from a panel at an International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) meeting focused on SRHR measurements…
What interventions are effective to prevent or respond to female genital mutilation? A review of existing evidence from 2008–2020
As the final decade of acceleration towards zero new cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM, SDG Target 5.3) by 2030 has begun, increasing the rigour, relevance, and utility of research for programming, policy development and resource allocation is critical. This study aimed to synthesize and assess the quality and strength of existing evidence on interventions designed to prevent or respond to FGM between 2008 and 2020.The study drew on a Rapid…
Introduction to the Special Issue
In August of 2021, the Editorial Committee of Studies in Family Planning put out a call for abstracts for a special issue focused on indicators in sexual and reproductive health and rights.We did so in response to our perception of a growing demand in the field not only for advances in measurement, with fresh thinking on ways to measure progress beyond existing indicators, many of which have been critiqued as more program-centered than personcent…
Faith-Based Advocacy for Family Planning Works
Key Messages Although it is often assumed that religion has a negative influence on family planning (FP), virtually all faith traditions support the concept of healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy. Given the growing evidence of the importance of religious leaders and faith-based organizations (FBOs) in shaping policy and reaching communities in support of FP, faith leaders play an important role in advocating for FP and increasing its uptake. …
Family planning and resilience
Using 2016 household survey data from Tanzania, we define and measure resilience within the context of Population, Health, and Environment programming and quantify the link between resilience and family planning. We created a multicomponent model using confirmatory factor analysis in a structural equation modeling context. Factor loadings for eight defined latent factors of resilience were statistically significant ( p p < 0.01), suggesting that …
Revising the FP Quality of Care Framework in the Context of Rights‐based Family Planning
Nearly three decades ago, Bruce articulated a client‐centered quality of care (QoC) framework for family planning services. The term quality has since then been used in many rights‐based frameworks for health, reproductive health, and family planning. This commentary compares the concept of quality used in many of these frameworks to reconcile the elements of the FP QoC framework with the use of quality in various rights frameworks. We propose fi…
Use of Male Methods of Contraception Worldwide
This article analyses male contraceptive use, both globally and for developing countries. Shares of all contraceptive use due to males are examined, in the context of female use and all use. Patterns according to wealth quintiles are analysed, as well as time trends and geographic variations. Data are drawn primarily from compilations by the UN Population Division and from the Demographic and Health Series and subjected to relatively simple stati…
Achieving the Goal of the London Summit on Family Planning By Adhering to Voluntary, Rights-Based Family Planning
The 2012 London Summit on Family Planning refocused attention on family planning, garnering much-needed support for the goal of reenergizing and expanding programs in 69 low- and medium-income countries enable 120 million more women ... to use contraceptives by 2020. (1) Although the response to the summit's initiative (referred to as FP2020) was generally positive, reproductive health and rights advocates expressed concern that the focus on a nu…
Social capital to strengthen health policy and health systems
This article recounts the development of a model for social capital building developed over the course of interventions focused on HIV-related stigma and discrimination, safe motherhood and reproductive health. Through further engagement with relevant literature, it explores the nature of social capital and suggests why undertaking such a process can enhance health policy and programmes, advocacy and governance for improved health systems strengt…
Voluntary, Human Rights–Based Family Planning
At the 2012 Family Planning Summit in London, world leaders committed to providing effective family planning information and services to 120 million additional women and girls by the year 2020. Amid positive response, some expressed concern that the numeric goal could signal a retreat from the human rights–centered approach that underpinned the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. Achieving the FP2020 goal will take concer…
Access to Contraceptive Methods and Prevalence of Use
Survey data on contraceptive use for about 80 countries are related to measures of contraceptive access, by method, from 1999 to 2009. Cross-tabulation and correlational methods are employed, with geographic comparisons and time trends. Total prevalence of use for five modern contraceptive methods correlates well to a variety of access measures. Greater access is also accompanied by a better balance among methods for both access and use. Sub-Saha…
Maternal morbidity
In safe motherhood programming in the developing world, insufficient attention has been given to maternal morbidity, which can extend well beyond childbirth. For every woman who dies of pregnancy-related causes, an estimated 20 women experience acute or chronic morbidity. Maternal morbidity adversely affects families, communities and societies. Maternal morbidity has multiple causes, with duration ranging from acute to chronic, severity ranging f…

Unintended Pregnancy and Women’s Psychological Well-Being in Indonesia
Few studies have examined the impact of unintended pregnancy on women in developing countries. This paper examines the impact of unintended pregnancy on Indonesian women’s psychological well-being. It is hypothesized that experiencing unintended pregnancy is associated with lower psychological well-being and that use of family planning and small family size are associated with higher levels of psychological well-being. Data are drawn from a 1996 …
Three Countries' Experience with Norplant Introduction
Despite international efforts to plan for Norplant introduction, the method has drawn the attention of critics of family planning programmes, and has raised several issues for debate since it was introduced into family planning programmes. The experiences of three countries with the introduction of Norplant highlight some of the unique features of the method that have affected its introduction. Indonesia, Bangladesh and the United States represen…
Menstruation Requirements
A review of surveys from Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Jamaica, and Senegal suggests that the requirement that women seeking hormonal contraception and IUDs should present for family planning services when menstruating represents a significant but unrecognized barrier to contraceptive access. Non-menstruating clients are instructed to return to the family planning facility at the onset of menses and often are not provided with a provisional barrier met…
Assessing the impact of a family planning nurse training program in Egypt
Assessing Family Planning Service-delivery Practices
This report presents the results of a study of the family planning service-delivery practices of private physicians in Jamaica. All 367 private physicians in Jamaica who offer family planning services, counseling, or referral were included in the survey. The study revealed that a client seeking services might be given a method by one provider and not by another, and that the methods clients use are likely to be influenced by the providers' prefer…
