Composite fuzzy cognitive map of the causes of kunika. Composite map from 24 maps (12 female maps and 12 male maps). The weights of the arrows indicate the cumulative net influence. The thickness of the lines is proportional to the weights. Self-pointing arrows indicate that separate maps indicated internal dynamics of these categories, meaning that some factors within the category contribute to the occurrence of other factors in the same category. To simplify the map, we included only the relationships affecting the four strongest causes of kunika. B: Use of force or coercion; G: Not using modern methods of family planning; J: Lack of awareness about family planning and fear of side effects; L: Frequent sex and factors encouraging this; N: Family dynamics; O: Negative socio-economic conditions
