In order to get a better understanding of adolescent use of contraceptives in Bangladesh, researchers interviewed married adolescent girls, key informants, and CHWs. Main factors regarding the lack of contraceptive use among married adolescents include lack of health knowledge, communication ability, and mistrust towards contraceptive methods. CHWs played an important role in determining these factors as they are involved in healthcare delivery for these young girls and often positively influence use of contraceptive methods. Adolescent pregnancy is an issue in Bangladesh and should be delayed among married adolescent girls.
