Abstract

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) practices among rural Mozambique women farmers are often characterized by limited knowledge and awareness, leading to potential negative health outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including pre- and post-workshop surveys to assess changes in knowledge and behaviors, alongside qualitative interviews to explore perceptions and experiences. Findings indicated an increase of 40% in contraceptive use among participants who attended the workshops compared to those who did not (95% CI: [32%, 48%]). Community health education workshops significantly improved SRH practices, particularly contraception uptake. Further replication and integration of these workshops into existing community programmes is recommended. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
