Abstract
Although researchers and practitioners have suggested that the quality of family planning
services impacts contraceptive discontinuation, establishing a causal relationship has been
challenging, primarily due to data limitations and a lack of agreement on how to measure
quality. This longitudinal study estimated the relationship of the dissatisfaction with family
planning services on contraceptive discontinuation for a sample of 797 female clients who
sought family planning services at urban facilities across Kenya, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso.
Clients who sought family planning services were first interviewed in person at private and
public health facilities and received a follow-up phone interview four to six months later.
