Limited method choice, contraceptives access and use during Lebanon’s political-economic crisis: a mixed-methods, longitudinal study

The limited method mix provided in Lebanon's PHC system is a barrier to women's ability to exercise informed choice of method. There are few affordable contraceptive options available, such that some women are unable to switch between modern methods that might better suit their needs and preferences. To meet the diverse needs of women throughout their reproductive lives, healthcare facilities and their partners should prioritize expanding the range of contraceptive methods available while implementing key policy changes to improve the accessibility, availability, and quality of reproductive health services.
