Provider verbal disrespect in the provision of family planning in public-sector facilities in Western Kenya
Public-sector healthcare providers in low- and middle-income countries are a primary source of family planning but their disrespectful (i.e., demeaning or insulting) treatment of family planning clients may impede free contraceptive choice.

Further investigation is needed to understand whether the CSC - or other social accountability efforts - can result in improved contraceptive access
