A Collaborative Family Planning Program in Rural Uganda Utilizing Community Health Workers.

Alison Hayward1, Kelsey Brown2.   

Abstract

In 2015, a household survey was conducted in rural eastern Ugandan villages to determine fertility rate, prevalence of childbirth in the hospital setting, use of and unmet need for modern contraception. There remains a high fertility rate as well as high unmet need for contraception in the surveyed villages. However, Uganda Village Project's community health worker-based family planning program has shown promise to address these concerns.
