Male support for family planning and contraceptive use by their partners during the COVID-19 pandemic in selected states in Nigeria: a qualitative explorative study
Males played notable roles in supporting their partners to obtain FP and contraception during the pandemic. We recommend implementing interventions that encourage greater male involvement in FP, as well as interventions that promote joint decision-making between couples in settings where decisions are mostly taken by men alone.
