Exploring disparities and drivers of contraceptive use among Syrian refugee youth: evidence from a mixed-methods study in Jordan

Access to sexual and reproductive health services is an explicit element of the Sustainable Development Goals, and is critical for achieving family planning goals and broader well-being of young people. Youth (15–24 years) face many barriers to accessible, quality services, and refugees often experience additional barriers due to physical, economic, legal and/or social exclusion. This study explored these barriers in the context of Jordan, a country that has one of the highest proportions of refugees globally.
