Family Planning Under the COVID-19 Pandemic: How is it Going and What are We Finding?

IUSSP Webinar Series

March 23, 2021

11:00am EST

Almost a year into the pandemic and its resultant lockdown, we now know more about its impact on family planning practice and research to share findings from experiences on collecting data under the pandemic.

With the goal of providing insight into how efforts to safely manage data collection have been undertaken and whether contraceptive access and utilization have changed under the pandemic, the findings that will be presented will help family planning researchers conduct research in pandemic-affected areas and can facilitate interpretation of research findings related to family planning under pandemic circumstances.

Presentations will feature data on field-based data collection in India (Maharashtra, Bihar and Rajasthan), Nigeria, Uganda and Burkina Faso inclusive of statewide monitoring data and outcome evaluation research data.

English/French Interpretation will be provided.

Près d'un an après le début de la pandémie et des confinements qui en ont résulté, nous en savons un peu plus sur son impact sur la planification familiale.

Dans ce webinaire, nous allons donner un aperçu de diverses expériences de collecte de données dans le cadre de la pandémie à la fois pour montrer les efforts qui ont été entrepris pour gérer la collecte de données en toute sécurité et pour évaluer dans quelle mesure l'accès et l’utilisation de la contraception ont été modifiés durant la pandémie. Les résultats qui seront présentés visent à aider les chercheurs en planification familiale à mener des recherches dans les zones touchées par la pandémie et à leur faciliter l’interprétation des résultats de recherche liés à la planification familiale dans un contexte de pandémie.

Les présentations comprendront des données issues de collectes sur le terrain en Inde (Maharashtra, Bihar et Rajasthan), au Nigéria, en Ouganda et au Burkina Faso, y compris des données de suivi à l'échelle d’un État et des données de recherche sur l'évaluation des résultats.
