Social determinants of health and family planning: impact of food and financial insecurity on contraceptive use and pregnancy intention
Our study found that the SDOH domains of monthly financial instability and food insecurity are significantly associated with women not using contraceptive measures but not wanting to become pregnant. Addressing barriers to contraceptive access and FP is becoming more important with shifting policies regarding women's reproductive healthcare. For women seeking contraceptive and FP advice, increased funding may help provide a solution.
