How do pro-social tendencies and provider biases affect service delivery? Evidence from the rollout of self-injection of DMPA-SC in Nigeria
Provider biases may limit provision of DMPA-SC for SI, which could affect contraceptive equity and women's control over their own fertility, especially for younger, unmarried women. Targeted interventions that effectively address provider biases against young, unmarried women, potentially leveraging providers' underlying pro-social tendencies, may help ensure equity in client access to contraceptive self-care.
