“…For example, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Costenbader et al [ 36 ] found that intention to use a modern contraceptive method increased by 0.6 with every unit increase in in injunctive FP norms and that injunctive norms about community approval of gender-equitable roles in childcare were significantly associated with intention to use a modern method. Injunctive norms have been found to positively predict contraceptive intentions among female youth in Niger [ 37 ] and sexually-active female adolescents in Addis Ababa [ 38 ]; contraceptive use among female youth in Niger [ 37 ] and among postpartum women in rural Uganda [ 39 ]; and, in a study that applied the IBM, emergency contraceptive use among undergraduate students in the Midwest of the United States [ 40 ]. A qualitative study in Nigeria suggested that family, peer and society disapproval of postpartum IUD use negatively affected a woman’s postpartum IUD use intention and behavior, while positive influences from health providers encouraged postpartum IUD use [ 41 ].…”

“…The remaining studies suggested that descriptive norms were a positive predictor of contraceptive intention or use. For example, Boulay et al [ 43 ] suggested that respondents with favorable descriptive norms were more likely to be using a modern contraceptive method and Wohlwend et al [ 40 ] found that descriptive norms were a positive predictor of intention to use emergency contraception. In India, Rimal et al [ 44 ] found that among women with two or more children, those who perceived more women in the community as using a method of contraception were more likely to use a contraceptive method themselves.…”

Unintended pregnancy is an important global health problem and frequently occurs during the immediate postpartum period. However, few studies have examined postpartum family planning (PPFP) intentions among adolescent girls and young women. This study assessed whether perceived norms and personal agency predicted PPFP intentions among first-time mothers age 15–24 in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Data were derived from the 2018 Momentum Project baseline survey. Analysis was based on 2,418 nulliparous pregnant women age 15–24 who were approximately six months pregnant with their first child in six health zones of Kinshasa. Overall PPFP intentions were low and ten to thirteen percent of women stated they were very likely to discuss PPFP next month with (a) their husband/male partner and (b) a health worker, and to (c) obtain and (d) use a contraceptive method during the first six weeks following childbirth. The results of multivariable linear regression models indicated that the PPFP intention index was predicted by description norms, perceptions of the larger community’s approval of PPFP, normative expectations, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, and autonomy. Rejection of family planning myths and misconceptions was also a significant predictor. Interaction terms suggested that the association of normative expectations with PPFP intentions varied across ethnic groups and that the positive association of injunctive norms with PPFP intentions was significantly increased when the larger community was perceived to disapprove of PPFP use. Normative expectations and PPFP-related self-efficacy accounted for two-thirds of the variance in PPFP intentions. The results suggested that understanding different normative influences may be important to motivate women to use contraception in the immediate postpartum period. In addition to addressing institutional, individual, and social determinants of PPFP, programs should consider integrating norm-based and empowerment strategies.

Purpose: This paper presents a systematic review of the use of social marketing principles in sexual health studies in order to determine the effectiveness of the programmes. Method: A systematic literature review method was used, and Andreasen’s (2002) benchmark criteria were adopted to analyse the use of social marketing principles in the selected studies.Findings: There is evidence of full use of some elements of Andreasen’s (2002) benchmark criteria, for example consumer research, behaviour change objectives and segmentation. The use of the marketing mix theory and exchange elements were limited, whereas the evidence of the use of competition is not noted. In addition, the majority of the selected studies focus on short-term objectives, leading to varying and inconsistent outcomes. Overall, no single element of Andreasen’s (2002) benchmark criteria was independently associated with the success of any of the selected studies. Implication: The review highlights a need to use more social marketing principles in planning and implementing sexual health programmes to enhance their effectiveness. Improvement in performance might be achieved through the development and application of a new social marketing informed methodology for designing social programmes on sexual health.
