Contraceptive dynamics among women with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Contraceptive dynamics is the use of contraception, unmet need, discontinuation, and/or switching of contraception. Women with disabilities (WWDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face a common problem: a low prevalence of contraceptive usage and a high unmet need. Even though certain studies have been conducted in high-income countries, research is scarce on the degree of contraceptive method mix, unmet needs, contraception discontinuation, and switching among WWDs in LMICs. As a result, the scoping review's goal is to investigate, map available evidence, and identify knowledge gaps on contraceptive dynamics within LMICs WWDs.

Methods

The scoping review is guided by the six-stage Arksey and O'Malley methodology framework. Published articles will be r
