Summary

This study follows over 1,300 pregnant people to learn what influences their use of birth control after giving birth. Researchers will look at knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to contraception. The goal is to improve birth spacing and help families plan better.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help design better programs to support people in achieving their desired birth spacing.
