Myths and misconceptions regarding family planning are widespread. Current literature suggests that there is a globally prevalent belief that family planning negatively impacts future fertility. Misconceptions related to adverse effects and mechanism of action were also identified. There is overall poor knowledge of sexual and reproductive health in the populations studied. Recent studies focus primarily on sub-Saharan Africa and West Africa. These findings and lessons learned may be helpful in customizing contraceptive counseling and increasing both global access to family planning and satisfied clients.
