Structural interventions aiming to enable adolescent use of contraception in low- and middle-income countries
Add To FavouritesStructural interventions aiming to enable adolescent use of contraception in low- and middle-income countries
Reducing adolescent pregnancy is a global public health priority and enabling contraceptive use is one way to achieve this. Broader determinants of contraceptive use, such as poverty, education and social norms, can affect knowledge, attitudes, motivation and ability to access and use contraception. Structural interventions aim to address these broader determinants and include cash transfer interventions, interventions to encourage participation in school, empowerment interventions and interventions aiming to change social norms. We conducted an evidence synthesis to explore a) what structural interventions have been evaluated for their effect on adolescent contraceptive use in low- and middle-income countries and b) how such interventions may work.

A360 Emerging Insights for Design
Add To FavouritesA360 Emerging Insights for Design
This deck summarises insights gathered by the A360 team for designing the Smart Start program in Ethiopia. It shares what the design team learned about young girls’ motivations behind SRH-related behaviour and decisions. The deck starts with giving information about the methodology behind insight generation, and then goes into findings about young girls’ behaviour, cultural norms, and traditional contraception messaging. Finally, creators of the deck share themes that they thought were relevant for consideration, and offer recommendations on how the intervention can be designed. This is a good tool to understand how insight generation happens in an HCD process, but may not necessarily be helpful to someone who is unaware of HCD.
