The document summarizes a study conducted in Malawi that tested the effectiveness of a male-focused family planning intervention at increasing contraceptive uptake. The intervention involved training male motivators who then visited married men over 8 months, providing information on family planning and teaching communication and motivation skills. The study found that contraceptive uptake increased significantly more in the intervention group compared to the control group. Improved communication between men and their wives about family planning was correlated with higher contraceptive use. The study demonstrates the potential for male-focused programs to promote family planning.
