“…The same pattern can be observed in any of the categories of fertility intent which signifies that the level of maturity expected among older ages implies the respondents' preferences on FAB/MNFP. Women's intention to use family planning services/ methods was influenced by socio-demographic characteristics (Parsekar, 2021). Our results show that the practice of artificial FPM increases with the respondents' age, and the distance of the health center from their residence increases.…”

Responsible parenting requires commitment, the right values, and a certain level of maturity to raise a family with a quality life. This research assesses the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RPFP) among selected 4Ps beneficiaries (n=659) in the five provinces of the Caraga Region. The socio-demographic and economic profiles of the respondents were correlated to their KAP on RPFP using multiple regression analysis. Results showed that most respondents are in their prime working age, married, Cebuano, high school graduates, embracing Christianity, from rural areas, nurturing a nuclear family with an average monthly income of P7, 287 for a family of six. Further, respondents are highly knowledgeable on RPFP while moderately knowledgeable about modern natural and artificial Family Planning Methods (FPM). Interestingly, they show a positive attitude towards RPFP and FPM but very frequently practice the principles of RPFP and occasionally practice FPM. The number of children and the age when they first become pregnant negatively affect their understanding of natural family planning. Whether their socio-demographic and economic status influences their KAP on RPFP, different government agencies whose mandate includes development should continue addressing various population issues. The study recommends a multi-dimensional, integrated, and holistic approach to addressing the various concerns that can contribute to an increased KAP among 4Ps beneficiaries towards the RPFP.

“…As such, the study will be implemented in three phases: formative assessment, design and implementation, and implementation monitoring and evaluation. The Introduction Improving women's agency in deciding when and how to use family planning (FP) services is critical for their health and well-being [1][2][3][4], and is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [5,6]. Access to appropriate FP methods is an impactful strategy for improving women's lives as it is a key mediator for most economic development outcomes [4,6].…”

Introduction While urban areas are often perceived to have better access to healthcare services, including modern family planning (FP) services, urban dwellers including those with better socioeconomic status are faced with multidimensional challenges that shape their access to appropriate FP services. In Uganda’s urban spaces, there is currently a lack of understanding among service providers, civil society organizations, and individuals/communities regarding the implementation of interventions that promote informed choice and voluntary use of family planning services. This knowledge gap has profound implications for reproductive rights. This study seeks to enhance existing efforts towards increasing coverage and uptake of Voluntary Family Planning (VFP) in Jinja City and Iganga Municipality, central eastern Uganda. Our primary question is, “What interventions can effectively be packaged and delivered to increase the uptake of VFP among different segments of urban residents?” Methods We propose to use the Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach to understand the needs and challenges of users and community capabilities in ensuring access to VFP services. Co-creating with stakeholders’ engagement and a data-driven-centric approach will steer design and adaptation that respond to the different population segments within the urban space. As such, the study will be implemented in three phases: formative assessment, design and implementation, and implementation monitoring and evaluation. The implementation process will incorporate robust monitoring, learning, and adaptation mechanisms. The primary focus of these mechanisms will be to utilize gathered information effectively to inform the design of the implementation and facilitate continuous learning throughout the process. The study will apply a process monitoring and evaluation approach to address questions related to what package of FP interventions work, for whom, under what circumstances and why. Discussion Guided by strong learning and implementation flexibility, we hypothesize that our implementation will provide segmentation-specific high-impact interventions in an urban context. Registration This implementation research protocol has been registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) repository Registries (https://osf.io/vqxu9; DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/VQXU9).
