Here is a brief summary of the issue:
Network: Qualitative Research
Vol. 22, No. 2, 2002
The use of qualitative research to improve reproductive health is the
focus of this issue of Network. Such research is guiding research and
program design, complementing findings from quantitative studies, and
exploring issues that have received little study. Highlighted in this
issue are selected research initiatives that illustrate how this
qualitative approach is expanding our insight into numerous reproduc-
tive health areas. Qualitative research is, for example, examining
barriers to both the use of existing contraceptives and the potential
use of new contraceptive products. It also identifies factors that
impede the provision or use of services designed to prevent, diag-
nose, and manage sexually transmitted infections; seeks ways to bet-
ter identify and serve victims of domestic violence; and helps us ex-
plore why maternal mortality rates remain unacceptably high in so
many settings.
