Individual empowerment and community norm effects of engaging young husbands in reproductive health in rural India: findings from a pilot study
Men in these rural communities are not receiving the information that they need to meet their reproductive goals, however, they greatly desire this information and ways to improve relationships with their new wives. Such an intervention appears to have the potential to help change norms and spread information in the community and provide men with positive, life affirming feelings. Providing information through technology could address barriers to in-person engagement. TRIAL REGISTRATION CLINICALTRIALS.GOV : 03/13/24.NCT06320964.
