Family planning is broadly recognised as a cost effective way to reduce both maternal and child mortality.
Do you have a source in support of this claim? (I'm not disputing it; I just haven't researched the topic and would like the article to provide a relevant citation.)
Maybe "Widely recognised at being cost effective at reducing unintended pregnancy" is better though - that's definitely widely recognised, but perhaps CE at reducing mortality isn't as widely recognised?
Hi mvolz,
Do you have a source in support of this claim? (I'm not disputing it; I just haven't researched the topic and would like the article to provide a relevant citation.)
There's a good review here (covers cost effectiveness on a wide variety of outcome metrics, including but not limited to maternal mortality): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3115338/
Specifically the cost effectiveness on maternal mortality in Nigeria in one study: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2458-12-786
Maybe "Widely recognised at being cost effective at reducing unintended pregnancy" is better though - that's definitely widely recognised, but perhaps CE at reducing mortality isn't as widely recognised?
Thank you. I've added a paragraph based on the first article. Feel free to revise.
