This document discusses social norms and their influence on health outcomes from the perspective of Ben Cislaghi, Assistant Professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It outlines several initiatives focused on measuring and addressing social norms, including those that sustain violence against women and children. It also presents frameworks for understanding how norms influence behaviors directly or indirectly, the interaction between norms and attitudes, and approaches for strategically changing norms through community-led programs that enhance knowledge, skills, and collective action.
Sociological theories believe that society influences a person to become involved in criminal activities. Social Disorganization theory is related to ecological theories because it links crime rates with the location.
The document discusses ecology, politics, and morality. For ecology, it argues that balancing ecology requires considering both industrial needs for profit/efficiency and citizen needs/desires for satisfaction. For politics, it states that soft money and lobbying diminish democracy by replacing the power of people with money. For morality, it suggests that exercising discretionary morality for one's peers is part of maintaining group dynamics, and that morality depends on cultural/social factors, requiring flexibility and individual judgment.
Social workers in the mental health field assess and treat individuals with mental, emotional, or substance abuse issues through therapies, case management, and prevention/education efforts. Concentrations include suicide prevention, especially for adolescents and youth, where suicide is a leading cause of death. Risk factors for suicide ideation include depression, low self-esteem, and lack of support systems. The author wishes to work on a macro-level in areas like policy, advocacy, research, and legislation to help at-risk groups like LGBT youth who are disproportionately impacted by suicide risks.
1) New Right theorists believe the nuclear family is essential to society and that increased divorce rates threaten it.
2) Social policies have undermined the nuclear family by redistributing responsibilities from families to the state.
3) According to these theories, state dependency is passed down from single parents to their children, risking a cycle of reliance on welfare and increased crime.
The social disorganization theory proposes that crime rates are affected by the structure and organization of neighborhoods. Clifford Shaw and Henry McKay initially developed this theory in 1942 based on their study of crime patterns in Chicago neighborhoods. They found that crime rates were highest in neighborhoods near the city center that had high levels of poverty, residential mobility, and family instability. These socially disorganized neighborhoods lacked strong social ties and control, allowing crime to flourish. Later theorists like Sutherland expanded on how peer influences and social learning can contribute to criminal behavior in such neighborhoods. The theory suggests reducing crime requires improving economic conditions and social structures in disadvantaged communities.
The document discusses how perspectives on the AIDS epidemic have evolved over time from a focus on viral transmission and risk behavior in the 1980s-1990s, to disease progression and treatment in the late 1990s-2000s, to impact mitigation and support for those affected from the 2000s onward. It also examines how different groups have constructed different narratives around AIDS and how problem frames have shifted from individual risk to structural vulnerability to rights and citizenship. Key differences between AIDS and other epidemics discussed are its slow progression, invisibility, association with stigma, and unprecedented mobilization of affected groups globally and locally.
This document summarizes a leadership event focused on creating equity and discusses the need for a new kind of leadership and leadership development. It defines key terms like health disparities, health inequities, equity, and social equity. It also outlines the four big ideas of equity as procedural fairness, distribution and access, quality, and outcomes. Finally, it lists five strategy elements for achieving equity, including addressing disparities, acknowledging structural causes, disrupting systems, analyzing power structures, and democratic participation.

This document summarizes three major justice theories: Adam Smith's theory of moral sentiments, Emile Durkheim's structural functionalism theory, and Howard Becker's labeling theory. It discusses their key ideas including Smith's concept of sympathy, Durkheim's ideas of anomie and social solidarity, and Becker's focus on how labels can become self-fulfilling prophecies. The document then applies these theories to analyze the problem of wrongful sentencing under mandatory minimum laws, noting how they break down social solidarity and norms, perpetuate further deviance through labeling, and lack sympathy for others.
The document discusses the importance and benefits of sociology. It explains that sociology helps people understand important social values and solve increasing social problems like poverty, discrimination, and inequality. Sociology also studies the roles of individuals and institutions in social structures and allows people to make powerful decisions that can positively impact society and reduce crimes. Overall, sociology provides critical thinking skills, helps address social issues, and improves understanding of human behavior and social change.
The nine myths of gender and environmental change - Irene Dankelman (Universi...IIED
The document discusses nine common myths about gender and environmental change. It addresses each myth and provides comments to explain a more nuanced understanding. Some of the myths addressed include: that environmental change is solely defined as climate change; that climate change impacts men and women equally; that women have a special relationship with nature due to their sex; and that increasing women's participation in decision-making alone will make policies gender-sensitive. The document advocates considering how power dynamics and social differentiators like class influence vulnerability to environmental change. It also emphasizes that promoting gender equality is important both for its own sake and not just for environmental goals.
Crime and Deviance - Ecological ApproachRachel Jones
Official crime statistics show that recorded crime is higher in urban areas and inner cities compared to rural areas. In the 1920s, the Chicago School of sociologists studied the relationship between criminality and the urban environment. They discovered that areas with high population turnover lacked stable communities and social control, resulting in a state of social disorganization where people felt little guilt about committing crimes. Shaw and McKay noted that these areas of social disorganization fostered delinquent subcultures where criminal values were passed to new generations. However, their analysis has been criticized for being tautological and relying on potentially biased official crime statistics that may say more about policing than actual crime rates.
A gender transformative approach (GTA) actively examines, questions, and changes rigid gender norms and imbalances of power. By transforming harmful, inequitable gender norms and values into positive ones
Social dominance theory (SDT) was developed in 1999 by Jim Sidanius and Felicia Pratto. It is based on hierarchies that exist within societies, such as those defined by age, gender, and arbitrary beliefs. SDT looks at the four bases of gendered power - force, resource control, social obligations, and consensual ideologies - that contribute to power imbalances. SDT has been used in psychology, sociology, and public health to understand topics like women's risk for HIV, career choices, attitudes toward police, and the relationship between bullying and social networks. While critiqued as being too individualized or rational, SDT's strengths are its ability to apply to multiple scenarios and explain
This document discusses several theories on the relationship between poverty and crime: social disorganization theory proposes that neighborhoods with weak social ties, poverty, and family disruption have higher crime; strain theory suggests that stressors like unemployment can increase pressure and lead to crime. However, crime rates fell in the late 2000s despite high unemployment, undercutting these theories. Crime continued declining in the following decades even as poverty increased, calling the poverty-crime correlation into question. The election of the first black president may have provided hope and deterred criminal activity in black communities. In conclusion, while poverty and crime may be correlated, poverty does not always determine future crime rates.
Sociology examines how social structures and institutions influence human behavior and social problems. It studies human groups and institutions like the family, education, work, and the economy. Sociology seeks to understand human behavior and social issues like crime using sociological explanations rather than assuming behavior is innate or biological. It analyzes familiar institutions with a sociological perspective and compares behaviors across societies and time periods.
Shifting Gender Norms, 2 Iccp (Nx Power Lite)nikoleye
This document summarizes an intervention program aimed at shifting gender norms and engaging young men in health and gender equity initiatives. It discusses how gender norms influence individual and community health and higher morbidity rates among young men. It also outlines various emerging intervention programs that use group workshops, social marketing campaigns, and male-friendly health services to promote more equitable relationships and gender norms. The document concludes by discussing lessons learned, such as the need to explicitly discuss masculinities and the importance of evaluation research on changing attitudes and behaviors.
Sociological Explainations of Crime: InteractionismDani Cathro
George Herbert Mead and Herbert Blumer were influential American sociologists who developed symbolic interactionism. Symbolic interactionism studies individuals and how they act within society, rejecting broad generalizations and statistical data in favor of qualitative research methods like participant observation. It views human interaction and the meanings associated with social objects as key to understanding society. Interactionists argue that laws and the definitions of crime and deviance are applied differently to certain social groups.

Theoretical Perspectives on Social Stratification
Social MObility and Social Inequality
The summary discusses the key ideas and findings of the Chicago School of sociology from 1914-1934:
1) Sociologists like Robert Park studied cities as natural areas and proposed theories like the concentric zone model to explain urban social organization.
2) Shaw and McKay mapped juvenile delinquency rates and found they decreased moving outward from the city center, which they linked to factors like poverty, instability, and weak community controls in inner zones.
3) Though criticized for ecological fallacy and treating crime as a measure of social disorganization, the Chicago School established urban sociology and the importance of community factors like collective efficacy in preventing crime.
Effect of individual and contextual social capital on health status and healt...Lars Kroll
Individual and contextual social capital is reported to be associated with better health outcomes and lesser risk behaviour. We analyzed representative data of a large scale telephone survey in Germany to examine whether such a relation is present in Germany today.
Social class can be defined as relatively permanent divisions in society where people share similar values, behaviors, and interests. Social class is determined by factors such as occupation, income, education, possessions, and associations. Social class represents a way to segment markets and may reflect consumer aspirations. Differences in beliefs and attitudes exist across class boundaries, and social class can be a better predictor of consumer behavior than income alone.
This is a Power Point Presentation that has been created as part of IGCSE Global Perspectives Project. We hope that through this form of social media, we'd be able to reach all those that are concerned about the issue as well as those that are unaware of the issue and thereby make a change in the society that we exist in. Thank You For Watching!!!
This document provides an introduction to sociology and discusses some of its key concepts. It defines sociology as the social science that examines human society and social behavior. It explores the sociological perspective of how individuals interact within groups and are impacted by social structure, constraints, opportunities, and their own choices. The document also defines some core sociological concepts like social roles, norms, values, hierarchy, and institutions; and provides examples of different types of norms and the main social institutions in society.
The document discusses looking at corruption through a virtue ethics perspective. It defines corruption as an act of dishonesty involving an illegal transfer of benefits. It states that fighting corruption requires adopting virtue ethics at a grassroots level, as many people currently lack virtues like integrity, honesty, and respect. It concludes that corruption can only be stopped individually by acquiring the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
All societies use social control to promote order. There are two types: internal control developed during socialization, and external control using rewards/punishments. Control theory examines how social institutions like family and education impose control to prevent deviance. Containment theory and social bond theory suggest control is maintained when people are properly socialized and have strong bonds to conventional institutions through attachment, commitment, involvement, and beliefs. Without these bonds, deviance increases.
Crime and poverty are contemporary social issues according to the document. Statistics show that households below the median income level are twice as likely to be victims of crime. The document examines explanations for the link between crime and poverty from Marxist, social interactionist, and empirical research perspectives. Marxism views crime as rooted in economic inequalities under capitalism where the ruling class exploits the working class. Social interactionism sees crime as learned through interactions in deprived social environments. Research also finds poverty increases the likelihood of youth violent crime due to family circumstances and developing identities in response to community deprivation.
What works in alcohol social marketing slidesnturnbull
The document discusses using social marketing approaches to change alcohol consumption patterns by targeting parents. It argues that parents are influential role models for their children and targeting them can create generational change. The approach aims to motivate parents to reframe their drinking and provide a positive drinking model. By empowering parents as responsible role models and giving them tools to guide children, outcomes showed many parents modified their own drinking behaviors and discussed alcohol with their children.

Leveraging Campus Policies to Create a Culture of Values and AccountabilityKyle Brown
1) The document discusses leveraging campus policies to create a culture of values and accountability. It examines how effective policies and programming can help address issues like binge drinking and sexual assault.
2) Experts argue that education alone is not enough to change behaviors - enforcement of policies is also needed. Data shows stronger alcohol policies at the state level are associated with reduced youth drinking.
3) When developing policies, schools must balance legal requirements with best practices. Effective policies are comprehensive, evidence-informed, and aligned with institutional missions.
The document provides an overview of cultural competence for social workers. It introduces the core values of the social work profession including service, social justice, dignity and worth of individuals. It defines key concepts such as culture, prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping. It discusses theories related to these concepts. It also presents frameworks to support culturally competent practice including strengths perspective, person-in-environment, empowerment model, and theories of multicultural competence, feminism, and intersectionality. The document emphasizes that social workers must understand and address issues of power, oppression, and discrimination in their work with diverse populations.
Managing adolescent sexual reproductive health issues cope with best evidence...PPPKAM
The document discusses adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) and strategies for effectively addressing ASRH issues. It describes the physical, emotional, and developmental changes that occur during adolescence and associated health risks. A comprehensive, evidence-based approach is needed that provides adolescents with knowledge and services, creates an enabling environment, and addresses social and cultural norms. Interventions should be tailored to adolescents' diverse needs and involve stakeholders at all levels including adolescents themselves. The goal is to enable adolescents to protect their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
The document summarizes key findings from a WHO-INPEA action research project on elder abuse. The project involved focus groups in 8 countries with older adults and healthcare professionals. Two main findings emerged: 1) older adults primarily blamed structural factors like inadequate social services for mistreatment, termed "societal abuse"; 2) experiences of disrespect, such as in healthcare and transportation, were viewed as abuse itself and a cause of other abuse. The implications challenge the micro-level view of elder abuse and identify the need to address broader social and policy issues to prevent abuse.
This document discusses community-based approaches to HIV prevention and how they relate to the priorities and strategies of the Preventative Health Taskforce (PHTF). Some key points made include:
- HIV responses have been driven by affected communities in a participatory way based on human rights and harm reduction principles.
- The PHTF's focus on strategic partnerships and engaging communities aligns well with HIV approaches, but how community participation will be defined requires discussion.
- Marginalized groups affected by issues like obesity, alcohol and tobacco should have a voice in developing health strategies and defining "healthy choices".
- Opportunities exist for HIV partnerships and the National Prevention Agency to collaborate, but differences like addressing stigma and
The role of community leaders in the civil society is greatly observed as an original experience that helps communities to change their attitudes toward pessimist fate. It does emphasise that cultivation of nations is available through social services and humanitarian programs. the spread of education around the globe offered great opportunities to leaders of the world to access sciences and technology systems at distance learning. The online education reflected the potential of empowerment in education, the social development and the necessity to adopt new life skills. Leadership here illustrates a map road of social justice and cultural intelligence that nurture a socio-political perception of decency and fairness
This document summarizes the UWF Peer Education Training & Recruitment Class. It recruits and trains students to become peer educators on topics like alcohol, sexual assault, and sexual health.

This document discusses a presentation on education and advocacy for community responses to prescription drug abuse. It will demonstrate the Prevention on Purpose planning model, evaluate environmental and individual prevention strategies, explain CADCA's Seven Strategies for Community Change, and describe best practices from successful community coalitions. The presenters are from Pathways, Inc., CADCA, and a county health department and coalition in West Virginia. The objectives are to demonstrate community engagement models, evaluate risk and protective factors, explain CADCA's strategies, and describe best practices.
This document discusses ethical issues in advertising, particularly regarding the use of sex appeal and emotional appeal. It notes that advertisements often create unrealistic standards of beauty that can negatively impact women's self-image and cause mental health issues. Emotional advertising may also encourage unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating fast food. While some argue that banning ads would not impact consumer choices or health, the document asserts that children are especially vulnerable due to their developing understanding and lack of critical thinking skills. It concludes that governments should implement more stringent regulations on advertising content and techniques.
The document discusses harm reduction from an Indigenous perspective. It describes how colonialism disrupted traditional ways of living for First Nations communities and caused imbalance. Harm reduction aims to help people reduce risks like HIV/AIDS in a value-neutral way by empowering informed decisions. Effective harm reduction programs are culturally appropriate and community-led, employing strategies like needle exchange and addressing gender inequalities. Challenges include gaining acceptance for new concepts and ensuring programs incorporate Indigenous beliefs.
Emergent social policy/tools for prevention of adult abuse April Struthers

Focus on Youth is an 8-session HIV and pregnancy prevention program for African American youth ages 12-15. It uses interactive activities like games and roleplays to provide facts about HIV/STDs and teach decision-making, communication, and negotiation skills. Originally called Focus on Kids, it was adapted based on feedback from pilot programs. Evaluations found the intervention increased condom use and reduced risky behaviors more than a control program. The curriculum aims to empower youth to make healthy decisions by addressing social pressures and risks of unsafe behaviors.
This document provides an introduction to basic concepts in medical sociology. It defines sociology as the study of human relationships and behavior and how they relate to health. Medical sociology specifically examines the cultural and social factors that influence illness. The document then defines and provides examples of key sociological terms like society, community, social institutions, roles, socialization, and social problems. It also discusses the role of social factors in health issues and diseases. The overall purpose is to introduce students to the field of medical sociology and how it examines the relationship between social and cultural factors and health/illness.
Co-operative lifestyle - Invitation to come back to RochdaleRyszard Stocki
Co-operatives are organizations that, by definition, adhere to a certain set of values and principles. The values were first formulated in Rochdale, where the first co-operative was founded. These values and principles, as any values and principles, should permeate the lifestyles of all those who identify with them. Individuals' exposure to these values and principles will vary between worker co-ops and other types of co-ops. While members of a co-operative bank or consumer coop may only visit once a week, in a worker co-op, people are exposed to the co-operative values for 8 hours a day. Geof Cox noted on LinkedIn that as such, worker co-ops may be considered a "lifestyle business".
Unlike values, lifestyle can easily be measured. Marketing specialists in the USA or Canada may quite reliably identify your lifestyle if you give them your postal code; doctors can conjecture it from seeing you for just a few seconds. Sociologists may deduce how you live from your taste - i.e. aesthetic choices. We simultaneously expose our lifestyle and are exposed, continuously, to the lifestyle of others. Some lifestyles spread like viruses creating a pandemic of consumerism. However, these product-based lifestyles are in complete opposition to the person-oriented lifestyle of: “self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, solidarity, honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.” Indeed, to follow the co-operative lifestyle seems more difficult now than it was in Rochdale times.
One of the first and more important reasons is related to our mobility and flexibility. In 1980, futurist Alvin Toffler predicted that as our society's work patterns become increasingly individualized, it would lead to greater social isolation due to a reduction in common "off-work" time (e.g. Sunday church services, evenings at the pub, community gatherings).
Toffler observes that we structure relationships differently now; rather than spending a lifetime getting to know our neighbours in a small village, we might meet and make new friends every week; and yet, we also drift apart more quickly - as we move on to a new sports team, a new job, a new city of residence. This shortening of the duration of our relationships has impacted many aspects of our everyday life - including our relationship to co-operatives. Now, people follow work, and not the other way round. The Rochdale pioneers did not dream about the challenges a community-based business has to face today.
In slide 7 I show the complexity of a modern lifestyle. I would like to investigate to what degree an individual's lifestyle impacts the functioning of a worker co-op. I am conducting a participatory research project of co-operative lifestyles today. I would like to invite co-operatives and their members not just to fill in questionnaires, but work together on developing them, in a true participatory approach.
The document discusses an asset-based approach to community development and health policy. It argues that policy and practice tend to focus more on deficiencies and problems rather than strengths and capacities. An asset-based approach seeks to uncover the skills, talents, and resources within communities and leverage these assets to promote well-being and development from the ground up. Key aspects include mapping community assets, building local visions and plans, and mobilizing networks to address issues in a sustainable manner.

Presentation_Wesseling - Private Public Partnerships and CKDuCORE Group
This document discusses the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affecting agricultural workers along the Pacific coast of Central America. It provides evidence that the disease has an occupational etiology related to heat stress and dehydration experienced by sugarcane and other field workers. Studies show physiological changes in workers consistent with heat stress and dehydration across work shifts. Longitudinal studies find declines in kidney function over harvest seasons among heat-exposed occupations. Intervention studies reducing heat stress through water, rest, and shade have shown reduced declines in kidney function. While some non-occupational factors may also contribute, the evidence strongly suggests that prolonged occupational heat stress is a primary driver of the CKDu epidemic.
Presentation_NCDs - Private Public Partnerships and CKDuCORE Group
Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes are leading causes of death and disability globally but receive little focus from global health initiatives. While communicable diseases have declined in recent decades, deaths from non-communicable diseases have increased and pose growing health and economic challenges as treatments remain limited. Experts call for greater prioritization and resources for non-communicable diseases on the global health agenda.

Presentation_Discussion - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
Participants in a small group discussed how to integrate norms-shifting interventions into current projects and programs. They considered what new partnerships would be needed when working to shift social norms and what evidence of the effectiveness of norms-shifting interventions should be collected, for whom, and how.
Presentation_Krieger - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
The document discusses the origins and theories of social norms. It notes that early theorists like Durkheim, Weber, and Ogburn contributed to understanding where norms come from and how they guide behavior. Parsons further explored how members of society are socialized to norms. Later, feminist anthropologists studied norms and social control, especially regarding gender. The document contrasts philosophical, psychological, and anthropological approaches to studying norms and culture. It argues that knowledge of cultural norms can help reduce unexpected outcomes in social science and shift narratives to achieve behavior change. The example of the Albania Family Planning Project shows how understanding local norms was key to successfully promoting contraceptive use.
Presentation_NSI - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
This document discusses the key attributes of norms-shifting interventions. It identifies several attributes that make an intervention effective at shifting social norms, including seeking community-level change, engaging people at multiple levels, correcting misperceptions around harmful behaviors, confronting power imbalances related to gender, creating safe spaces for critical reflection, rooting the issue within community values, accurately assessing norms, using organized diffusion, and creating positive new norms. The document provides examples and explanations for each of these attributes.
Presentation_Igras - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
This document discusses using theory to inform the work of a learning collaborative (LC) on norms-shifting interventions for adolescent reproductive health. It outlines several relevant theories, including social norm and behavior change theory and communication and behavior change theories. It also discusses the value of "bottom-up" program change theory developed from implementation experience. The LC aims to facilitate collaboration between organizations, build knowledge, and develop shared tools to guide effective social norm measurement and practice at scale. By working collaboratively, the LC can take a more experimental approach in this nascent field while still being informed by relevant theories.
Presentation_Petraglia - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
This document discusses a constructivist perspective on norms and normative change. Some key points of constructivism are that knowledge is constructed through social interaction and prior experiences, and meaning is negotiated through language. Constructivism acknowledges that individuals belong to multiple reference groups and can choose which norms to follow in a given situation. Normative change interventions cannot directly manage or control norms, but may be able to influence them by facilitating dialogue, clarifying language, and encouraging ethical persuasion rather than direct attribution. Norms and beliefs are also difficult to accurately measure.
Presentation_Sprinkel - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
This presentation provides an overview of CARE's Tipping Point initiative which aims to address child, early and forced marriage in Nepal and Bangladesh through community programming and evidence generation. In Phase 1 from 2013-2017, the project worked with adolescents, parents and leaders in 16 districts across the two countries. Norms influencing child marriage include excluding girls' voices, controlling girls' sexuality, and perceptions of risks/benefits of marriage timing. Phase 2 implements a randomized control trial to generate evidence on effective gender transformative programming and the value of social norms approaches. Challenges included discussing sexuality while successes included girls gaining greater freedom and mobility.
Presentation_Tura - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
This document discusses the Care Group approach used in an intervention in Nepal from 2005-2010. It aimed to shift social norms around maternal and child health issues through community groups. Formative research identified key norms and barriers. Community groups engaged women to reflect critically and root issues in community values. Evaluations found sustained impact on behaviors like breastfeeding years later. Challenges included focusing directly on norm drivers and unrealistic community health worker workloads. Further research on accurate norm assessment and evidence-based norm-shifting is still needed.
Presentation_Sacher - Norms Shifting InterventionsCORE Group
This document summarizes Cristina Bicchieri's theory of social norms, which is grounded in philosophy, game theory, and psychology. The key aspects of the theory include conditional preferences that depend on social expectations, personal normative beliefs about what should be done, and expectations about what others in one's reference network do and think should be done. The implications for practice highlighted in the document include providing a theory of change, identifying the nature of norms to design appropriate interventions, and using data and illustrative vignettes to measure norms and guide social change programs.

Presentation_Jurczynska - Catalyzing Investments in RMNCAH at the Community L...CORE Group
The document describes an evidence-based advocacy model called the Family Planning – Sustainable Development Goals (FP-SDGs) model. The model allows users to quantify the impacts of different family planning scenarios on 13 Sustainable Development Goal indicators out to 2030 or 2050. Users input baseline data and create three future scenarios capturing various levels of ambition for family planning and other socioeconomic factors. The model then projects population figures and calculates outcomes for the SDG indicators. Results can support advocacy efforts to increase funding and prioritization of family planning programs and policies. Examples of the model's use in Malawi, Tanzania, and West Africa demonstrate its ability to quantify potential development impacts of expanding access to voluntary family planning.
