Family planning in Jordan: a cross-sectional study on service availability, knowledge and attitudes among women.

ABSTRACT: Despite progress made in improving family planning (FP) services in Jordan, significant barriers remain. This study aimed to assess the availability of FP services in primary care settings and explore women's knowledge and attitudes toward FP to support the development of more person-centred FP services and interventions. The Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) was conducted in 2022 in six governorates to assess FP service availability in Jordan. Also, a cross-sectional study was conducted among women who attended primary health centres (PHCs) for postpartum care or immunisation of newborns to assess their knowledge, attitude and past experience of using FP, and family support. SARA results showed limited healthcare capacity for FP services with inadequate FP training main
