Comparative analysis of 2 approaches to monitor countries’ progress towards full and equal access to sexual and reproductive health care, information, and education in 75 countries: An observational validation study
Our results illustrate underlying challenges with the current indicator formulation that impact its interpretability. The proposed changes could alter the way the current legal landscape governing sexual and reproductive health is understood, thereby pointing to different programmatic and policy priorities that may better support countries in achieving full and equal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights globally.
