Summary
This pilot study tests a program called Planning Together for pregnant women and their partners. The program teaches couples about birth control options and how to communicate about family planning. Researchers want to see if it is feasible and acceptable for economically marginalized families, with the goal of preventing short interpregnancy intervals that can harm maternal and infant health.
