A review published in the October edition of the Bulletin of the World Health Organization by the partnership on High Impact Practices in Family Planning, with HP+ Senior Technical Advisor for Family Planning Sara Stratton as the lead author, looked at how equity is measured in family planning programs. The review of eight studies revealed variations in how equity is defined, with most addressing economic barriers to contraceptive use. Drawing on the findings, the authors propose a more comprehensive approach for examining and addressing inequities in family planning. The article recommends expanding how inequities are characterized and how they are measured and evaluated to go beyond wealth as the sole driver of inequity and contraceptive use as the primary outcome.
