Does community mobilisation improve awareness approval and uptake of family planning methods among women of reproductive age in Ebonyi State? Experience from a quasi-experimental study

摘要

Introductionfamily planning programmes have helped in increasing the prevalence of contraceptive use and reducing total fertility rate in developing countries from six to three births per woman. However, its uptake is lower in the rural areas compared to urban areas. This study seeks to elucidate the effect of community mobilisation on awareness, approval and use of family planning among women of reproductive age in the rural areas of Ebonyi state, Nigeria.
