Capturing the Dynamic Nature of Choice: Qualitative Perspectives on Contraceptive Acceptability from Cameroon and Kenya.
Article in Studies in family planning, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Although empowerment-focused reproductive health measures have expanded in recent years, gaps exist in measuring person-centered contraceptive desire and demand. We address this gap by examining the degree to which individuals feel that contraception is acceptable. This study explores women's and men's experiences of contraceptive acceptability and tests the applicability of the "5C" framework of vaccine hesitancy to contraceptive demand and behaviors. We conducted 60 in-depth interviews and 12 focus group discussions with women and men in Kenya and Cameroon. A multi-country team thematically coded and analyzed data using inductive and deductive approaches. Our findings show that three domains of the "5C" vaccine hesitancy framework were particularly salient to participants' experiences of contraceptive acceptability. Perceptions of contraceptive safety and effectiveness (confidence), personal and others' experiences with contraception (calculation), and contraceptive services quality (constraints) all influenced contraceptive acceptability. Additionally, three new domains emerged: family responsibility, partner engagement, and childbearing expectations. Taken together, these six domains comprise the construct of contraceptive acceptability, which influences contraceptive demand and consequent contraceptive behaviors. This work offers a conceptual underpinning to inform the development of a contraceptive acceptability measure that centers choice and agency in family planning programs and research.
