This study examines whether decision-making modes related to reproductive behavior differ between individuals with and without clinical depressiveness (H1) and whether these modes remain stable over time, even after the birth of the first child (H2). Data stem from the German Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics (pairfam). Clinical depressiveness was measured using State-Trait Depression Scales and decision-making modes through items on reproductive behavior. H1 was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and post hoc analysis of variance (ANOVA); H2 via fixed-effect regressions and cross-lagged panel model. A significant group difference emerged in the combined decision-making modes (Pillai's trace = 0.009, F(6, 4832) = 7.32, p < 0.001). Individuals with clinical depressiveness engaged more in rational and avoidant modes, whereas those without favored normative decision-making. Decision-making remained stable between subjects; within-subject analyses showed alterations over time. Between subjects, decision-making remained stable. Characteristics of depressive symptoms and individual circumstances may explain the results. Future research should incorporate other clinical conditions and qualitative analyses. Practitioners should consider individual costs, benefits, and decisional postponement.</p>","PeriodicalId":22069,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Family Planning","volume":" ","pages":"415-431"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13578845/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148449333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Supply chain challenges contribute to contraceptive nonuse in the country. Before 2013, Senegal used a pull‑based contraceptive supply chain, in which facility staff estimated demand and procured supplies, leading to frequent stockouts. The informed push model (IPM), launched in 2012, aimed to streamline distribution. We used 2014-2019 DHS data (N = 32,373) and applied an event‑study difference‑in‑differences design with district‑level data to assess changes in the prevalence of modern, long-acting, reversible, and short‑acting contraceptive methods. We further conducted subgroup analyses by wealth and urbanicity. IPM significantly increased contraceptive prevalence. Modern contraceptive use in the postpartum period rose by 7.8 percentage points within 10 quarters post-IPM. Increases were most pronounced for wealthier and more urban districts. Results underscore the value of strong supply chains but show that supply‑side efforts alone may not reach low-income and rural populations. Future work should evaluate the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of alternative financing models and integrated strategies to address persistent supply and access barriers.</p>","PeriodicalId":22069,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Family Planning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148449363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are likely a variety of factors that contribute to these perceptions. One explanation could be the short-term (<12 months) delays in return to fertility following contraceptive cessation, which may be interpreted as evidence of subfertility. In this commentary, we argue that the contraceptive field should embrace evidence-based nuance about return to fertility (including, but not limited to, during contraceptive counseling) to minimize confusion and distrust. Further, greater emphasis on the fertility-preserving aspects of contraception and multipurpose prevention technologies may be helpful in bringing understanding about the effects of contraception into alignment with scientific evidence.","PeriodicalId":22069,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Family Planning","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148349350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women reported that the counseling tool supported informed FP decisions, improved awareness about less familiar options, and dispelled myths and misconceptions. Providers said the counseling tool helped tailor counseling, though it was challenging to use with women with more FP experience or with a selected method, but helpful among new FP users and adolescents.

Recently, one indirect, survey-based technique for measuring abortion outcomes, the confidante method, has gained particular attention. The method has been applied in various social and legal contexts; however, its efficacy has not been uniformly established. Increasingly, focus has shifted to assessing the method's key assumptions and quantifying the biases that arise from violations of them. We propose a general statistical framework to conceptualize and quantify the impact of biases on measuring abortion prevalence from such surveys. Specifically, we define the relationship between observed and true abortion prevalence based on misclassification error related to the sensitivity and specificity of the survey instrument. This formulation leads naturally to a Bayesian modeling approach to estimate abortion prevalence, allowing for differing knowledge of and different levels of uncertainty about the misclassification parameters to be incorporated in the modeling process, with that uncertainty being propagated through to the final estimates. We illustrate our framework and modeling approach on data from an application of the confidante method in Uganda in 2018, where we account for systematic differences in confidante abortion reports based on the self-reported abortion experiences of survey respondents.</p>","PeriodicalId":22069,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Family Planning","volume":" ","pages":"234-255"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13275040/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147843028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is thus a critical time to reexamine our priorities regarding what and how we measure across different aspects of family planning. In the last decade, new family planning measures had an average of 14 items per measure. This length is impractical for inclusion in most large-scale surveys and unfeasible in many modalities of data collection. In order to meet the very difficult moment in which the family planning community now finds itself, we must embrace pragmatism and promote the development, testing, and use of reliable, valid, and short (five or fewer item) measures.

In Northern Nigeria, patriarchal norms and gendered expectations heighten girls' risk of early marriage and high-risk childbearing. Birth spacing, or extending the length of time between births, can be a socially acceptable strategy that girls use to maintain their health. The Centre for Girls Education (CGE)'s Married Adolescent Girls Safe Spaces (MAS) program in rural Northern Nigeria included lessons on birth spacing and visits to health facilities. We conducted a case study of the MAS program, drawing from three years of ethnographic field research, including participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus groups. Combining scientific evidence and Islamic teachings in MAS safe spaces shaped girls' understanding and appreciation of modern birth spacing methods, and their agency in negotiating usage. However, girls' agency remained constrained by structural and normative barriers limiting their ability to practice birth spacing. The MAS program suggests that integrating scientific information and Islamic teachings on birth spacing in safe spaces can strengthen married adolescent girls' knowledge and agency to use modern methods, while underscoring the need to address persistent structural and gender norms.","PeriodicalId":22069,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Family Planning","volume":"113 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147625565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nearly 22 percent of women reported current use of traditional contraception, with 18 percent reporting exclusive use and 4.1 percent concurrent method use. Traditional contraception was more common among older women, women with lower education, higher parity, and in nuclear households.
