Thanks for stopping by! We'd love to hear from you.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Leonard Lopoo to explore the concept of wantedness and its implications for reproductive health, policy, and well-being. What does it mean for individuals to achieve their reproductive goals, and how can systems, programs, and policies better support those aspirations?
Drawing on his research, Dr. Lopoo discusses wantedness as a framework for understanding reproductive intentions and outcomes, highlighting the social, economic, and policy factors that shape people's ability to make and realize decisions about childbearing. Together, we examine how shifting the focus from outcomes alone to individuals' goals and preferences can lead to more person-centered approaches to reproductive health and family well-being.
Join us for a thoughtful conversation on reproductive autonomy, equity, and what it takes to create conditions in which every person can pursue the future they want.
