Hovedinnhold

Topic 6 October:

Understanding family planning method denial in Malawi: why women leave facilities empty-handed

The presentation is by Jill M. Peterson, University of Iceland.

Increasing accessibility to family planning is key to decreasing its unmet need in sub-Saharan Africa. In this talk, we will explore the issue of family planning method denial, or "turnaway", in Malawi. Turnaway happens when women have arrived at a facility intending to initiate a method but end up leaving without one.

Based on research conducted in 30 facilities in three districts, we will look at how often and why turn away happens and hear the perspectives of both clients and providers.

In addition to pursuing her PhD in Global Studies at the University of Iceland, Jill M. Peterson is a research associate with an international NGO called FHI 360.
