Motivation and barriers to health product use in Afghanistan

A SHOPS Plus household survey identified factors that encourage and impede family planning uptake, diarrhea prevention and treatment practices, and safe water treatment in Afghanistan. For example, nearly 80 percent of women reported that their husbands determine their family planning use, and two-thirds of respondents think that untreated water is safe to drink. The USAID-supported Afghan Social Marketing Organization (ASMO) is using these findings to inform their social and behavior change programming.
