  1. aNote Despite our best attempts to screen participants and ensure they met our inclusion criteria of recent contact with a health care provider about contraception options, a few women not of reproductive age were allowed to participate after coming to FGDs with family members. These women participated in the discussion, but their individual quotes and opinions are not highlighted in the findings as they fall outside the target age range
