This study looked at how people in rural South Sudan feel about using self-injectable birth control. Many liked being able to use it privately at home, which helped them avoid cultural and distance-related barriers. However, challenges like stigma, side effects, and family pressure made it hard for some to keep using it. Involving community health workers and local leaders in promoting and teaching about this method could help more people, especially first-time and hard-to-reach users, learn about and use it. Ongoing support and training for users are also key to success.
