“…There is increasing momentum in the global FP field to develop such rights-based measures. 9 Drawing from the rich scholarship and activism of the reproductive justice movement led by black feminists in the USA, 10 11 many are calling for person-centred indicators that prioritise reproductive justice and autonomy. 1 12 13 Senderowicz has proposed ‘contraceptive autonomy’ as a novel measure of rights-based FP programming that, ‘redefines success in FP as concordance between what a person wants and what they have, regardless of contraceptive use status’.…”

IntroductionUniversal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare—including family planning (FP)—is a global priority, yet there is no standard outcome measure to evaluate rights-based FP programme performance at the regional, national or global levels.MethodsWe collected a modified version of preference-aligned fertility management (PFM), a newly proposed rights-based FP outcome measure which we operationalised as concordance between an individual’s desired and actual current contraceptive use. We also constructed a modified version (satisfaction-adjusted PFM) that reclassified current contraceptive users who wanted to use contraception but who were dissatisfied with their method as not having PFM. Our analysis used data collected 3.5 months after contraceptive method initiation within an ongoing prospective cohort of married adolescent girls aged 15–19 years in Northern Nigeria. We described and compared prevalence of contraceptive use and PFM in this population.ResultsNinety-seven per cent (n=1020/1056) of respondents were practising PFM 3.5 months after initiating modern contraception, while 93% (n=986/1056) were practising satisfaction-adjusted PFM. Among participants not practising satisfaction-adjusted PFM (n=70), most were using contraception but did not want to be (n=30/70, 43%) or wanted to use contraception but were dissatisfied with their method (n=34/70, 49%), while the remaining 9% (n=6/70) wanted but were not currently using contraception.ConclusionPFM captured meaningful discordance between contraceptive use desires and behaviours in this cohort of married Nigerian adolescent girls. Observed discordance in both directions provides actionable insights for intervention. PFM is a promising rights-focused FP outcome measure that warrants future field-testing in programmatic and population-based research.

“…There is an increasing focus on creating patient-centered metrics that prioritize women as the central decision-makers of their reproductive health (Bingenheimer et al 2023;Burke and Potter 2023;Senderowicz 2020;Senderowicz et al 2023). Current proposals suggest focusing on contraceptive autonomy, which links the desired demand for contraception with informed, full, and free choice (Senderowicz et al 2023), although the operationalization of this construct is not clear yet.…”

BACKGROUNDAlthough interest in patient-centered family planning measures is growing, little is known about women's preferences for contraceptive methods and whether these preferences influence contraceptive behaviors. OBJECTIVEWe assessed whether the fulfillment of contraceptive preferences affected women's decisions to continue, switch, or stop using contraception. METHODSData came from a panel of urban Kenyan, Nigerian, and Senegalese women collected between 2010-2015. Women who were not using contraception at baseline and intended to use reported their preferred contraceptive method, and then at the second round reported their contraceptive use, which permits us to measure whether they fulfilled their baseline preference. We then examined whether fulfilling their contraceptive preference was associated with the decision to continue, switch, or stop using contraception by the third round by estimating a set of probit and bivariate probit models. RESULTSAfter controlling for individual, household, and health system characteristics, women with fulfilled contraceptive preferences were 25 percentage points less likely to stop or switch contraceptive methods than women with unfulfilled contraceptive preferences.
