Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Family planning is an essential aspect of public health, enabling individuals and families to plan and space births for better health outcomes. In Toto Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, family planning services face challenges such as cultural resistance, limited awareness, and misconceptions. Digital media, including social media platforms, websites, and mobile health applications, offers a powerful tool for advocating family planning. By leveraging digital platforms, advocacy groups can disseminate accurate information, engage with communities, and address cultural barriers to family planning. According to studies by Abdullahi et al. (2023), digital media has been effective in raising awareness about reproductive health and encouraging behavior change. This study aims to investigate how digital media is used for family planning advocacy in Toto, examining its effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities for improving family planning outcomes.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Family planning in Toto Local Government Area faces low adoption due to cultural resistance, lack of education, and limited access to healthcare information. While digital media has the potential to bridge these gaps, its use in family planning advocacy remains underexplored. This study seeks to understand how digital media can promote family planning awareness and overcome barriers to its adoption in the region.
