Tested Solutions for Engaging Men in Family Planning
This design primer details the components of the behaviorally informed intervention used in The Scale-up and Capacity Building in Behavioral Science to Improve the Uptake of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services (SupCap) project in Uganda. Users of the guide will be able to (1) implement the game “Together We Decide”: a game for male partners of postpartum women to encourage contraceptive uptake; (2) distribute child spacing planning cards, which are designed to prompt and encourage conversations between couples about child spacing; and (3) view text messages sent to health workers to encourage discussions about family planning with male and female clients.
