The overall goal of this study is to assess facilitators and barriers to contraception with a focus on long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) among adolescents and health care providers (HCPs) in rural Haiti. The investigator plans to accomplish the following objectives:
Objective 1: Develop locally-informed surveys and in-depth interview guides, based on the ecologically-expanded Theory of Planned Behavior, to assess attitudes, social norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions regarding contraception, with a focus on LARC, among adolescents and HCPs in rural Haiti.
