      Self-injection of contraception holds great promise for helping women and adolescent girls overcome access barriers and empowering them to manage their health. Building on previous self-injection research conducted in the US and Europe, a PATH/Ministry of Health study in Uganda found that self-injection is both feasible and highly acceptable among most study participants in Uganda. During this webinar held on January 19, 2017, presenters provided background on contraceptive self-injection and shared the study results from Uganda, as well as program implications.
