Attitudes and beliefs towards contraception and future intention to use a method among women in refugee settlements in Uganda
Intention to use a method in future was low among women living in refugee settings in Uganda, with side effects being a major reason for non-use among those who intend to use a method in future. Interventions aimed at increasing contraceptive use should focus on counselling strategies that diffuse misinformation related to health concerns.
