Summary: The aim of this research is to evaluate consumers and providers preferences for both well-established and newly developed contraceptive products. The outcomes will be unique information about the relative importance of different attributes of contraceptives in determining women s decisions about which particular method/s to choose and about the factors that influence providers recommendations about contraceptive methods. The significance of this information is that it can be used to predict uptake of new methods under various options including for different prices, modes of use and levels of accuracy and to identify factors which are likely to increase the use of particular products.
