Product, Placement, and Price: Generating Mixed-Methods Data to Inform a Total Market Approach in Tanzania - Thursday, April 11, 2019 | 8:30AM | Presenter: Marianne El-Khoury
In Tanzania, condoms are a key contraceptive product. However, the condom market is flooded by donor supply, jeopardizing its sustainability. In response, SHOPS Plus is collaborating with the Tanzanian Government to better coordinate public and private condom distribution through a total market approach.
Understanding Sources and Quality of Contraceptive Care among Adolescents: A Global Analysis - Thursday, April 11, 2019 | 8:30AM | Presenter: Sarah E. K. Bradley
The unique contraceptive needs of adolescents are increasingly recognized among the global family planning community. Despite recent progress to meet these needs, approximately half of adolescent pregnancies in low-income areas are unintended. Recent policy reports on adolescent contraception emphasize the need for high-quality data to inform efforts to increase adolescent contraceptive use, access, and choice. We conducted a secondary analysis of Demographic and Health Survey data in 28 countries to examine where adolescents obtain their contraceptives, how sources vary by method and socioeconomic status, and the quality of care received by adolescents.
