The qualitative study of factors influencing the use of contraceptive methods among vulnerable groups in the Republic of Moldova has been conducted by the Center of Sociological Investigations and Marketing (CBS-Research) at the request of the Center for Health Policies and Studies (PAS Center), in coordination with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Moldova and with the support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The research identified the barriers faced by people from key groups who canaccess free contraceptive methods in primary health care, but do not use them.
