Using Marketing Science to Understand Contraceptive Demand in High ‐Fertility Niger
AbstractGlobal initiatives aim to add 120 million new family planning (FP) users by 2020; however supply ‐side interventions may be reaching the limits of their effectiveness in some settings. Our case study in Niger used demand analysis techniques from marketing science. We performed a representative survey (N = 2,004) on women's FP knowledge, attitudes, needs, and behaviors, then used latent class analysis to produce a segmentation of women based on their responses. We found that Nigerien women's demand for modern FP methods was low, with majorities aware of modern methods but much smaller proportions considering use,...

Cash Transfers, Early Marriage, and Fertility in Malawi and Zambia
AbstractThere is increasing interest in the ability of cash transfers to facilitate safe transitions to adulthood in low ‐income settings; however, evidence from scaled‐up government programming demonstrating this potential is scarce. Using two experimental evaluations of unconditional cash transfers targeted to ultra‐poor and labor‐constrained households over approximately three years in Malawi and Zambia, we examine whether cash transfers delayed early marriage and pregnancy among youth aged 14 to 21 years at baseline. Although we find strong impacts on poverty and schooling, two main pathways hypothesized in th...

Trends in Modern Contraceptive Use among Young Adult Women in sub ‐Saharan Africa 1990 to 2014
This article provides updated estimates of trends in modern contraceptive use among young adult women (aged 15 –24) who have had sex, using Demographic and Health Survey data from 23 sub‐Saharan African countries (1990–2014). In East/South Africa, parous women had higher modern contraceptive use than nulliparous women and larger increases in modern contraceptive use over time. In the West/Central regio n, nulliparous women had higher modern contraceptive use than parous women and larger increases in modern contraceptive use over time. Most of the increase in modern contraceptive use was driven by an increase in short...

“They Destroy the Reproductive System”: Exploring the Belief that Modern Contraceptive Use Causes Infertility
This article provides a detailed characterization of the belief that modern contraceptives cause infertility, and an examination of how this belief arises and spreads, and why it is so salient. We conducted focus group discussions and key informant interviews in three rural communities along Kenya's eastern coast, and identified the following themes: (1) the belief that using modern contraception at a young age or before childbirth can make women infertile is widespread; (2) according to this belief, the most commonly used methods in the community were linked to infertility; (3) when women observe other women who cannot ge...
