Brief Summary
The Center on Gender Equity and Health is evaluating a multimedia social and behavior change (SBC) intervention in Kano and Kaduna states in Nigeria to assess its impact, cost-efficiency and how it works. The intervention, led by BBC Media Action, uses radio, TV, other media, community outreach and SBC approaches to increase women's and couples' ability to make and act on reproductive and family planning decisions. Over a three-year period (2025- 2028), we will use a mixed-methods prospective longitudinal cohort study design to meet the research objectives. This includes estimating the impact of the intervention on use and intent to use modern contraception (alone, when combined with other family planning programs, and among non-users), exploring the pathways through which the intervention increases contraceptive use, estimating the cost-efficiency of the intervention and, evaluating the sustainability of the intervention. Data will be collected from three states - Kano and Kaduna (intervention states) and Nasarawa (comparison state). Through this evaluation, we aim to contribute to the family planning and mass media SBC fields by strengthening the evidence on the impact of a multimedia SBC intervention as well as the additional impact of combining the intervention with family planning service delivery interventions.
