Radio serial dramas can model family planning behaviors for underserved populations

Evidence

A serial radio drama broadcast in Niger (Jah, Connolly, Barker, & Ryerson, 2014) modeled the benefits of planned childbearing and birth spacing and the adverse social and health effects of frequent unplanned childbearing. To enable listeners to turn their desired family futures into reality, the models taught them how to discuss intimate reproductive family matters when it was difficult to do so. Listeners were also taught how to prevent obstetric fistulas. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2882
