Call for Papers for Pakistan Journal of Public Health Special Issue

Evidence-based Family Planning Interventions

Last Date for Submissions: Friday, December 6 2024

We invite submissions for a Special Issue dedicated to evidence-based interventions in family planning and reproductive health services, crucial for improving population health. The family planning interventions are central to improving women’s health and and achieving sustainable development.

Despite notable global progress in contraceptive use and declining fertility rates, over 214 million women of reproductive age—primarily in low- and middle-income countries—remain without access to modern contraceptive methods, despite their desire to avoid pregnancy. This lack of access threatens individuals’ potential to create better futures for themselves and their communities.

Key Thematic Areas

• Social Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) for Family planning
• Advocacy for Family Planning
• Scaling up Family Planning Service Delivery
• Data Systems and HMIS for Family Planning
• Public Private Partnership for Family Planning
• Population Management & Family Planning – Policy Paradigm
• Program Design and Interventional Evaluations
• Innovative Monitoring and Evaluation Approaches

This Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of evidence-based practices in family planning. We encourage submissions that investigate barriers to accessing these services, particularly in developing countries. We also welcome evaluations of effective interventions aimed at improving access to family planning products and services.

We are specifically looking for empirical studies and high-quality systematic reviews that contribute to this essential field of research.
