ABSTRACT
Several barriers drive low uptake of contseraception among adolescents. This study investigates the effectiveness of (re)solve, a school-based program in Burka Faso, to overcome barriers to contraception uptake and facilitate the development of intention to use it. This paper presents qualitative endline findings from a mixed-methods longitudinal study conducted between 2019 and 2020 in two urban sites using in-depth interviews with girl participants and implementers, and key informant interviews with local stakeholders. We found that adolescent girls in the target group are likely to soon become sexually active but may be underestimating this risk. We also identified three key barriers to access to contraception in the study sites misinformation and fear of side effects of contraception, stigma and negative attitudes, and a lack of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services. We conclude that the school-based (re)solve program was able to address barriers and spark contraceptive interest among participant girls.
