The majority focused on either a localised geographic area or specific Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community (n = 11). One study specifically focused on factors influencing contraceptive use, albeit among postpartum women. The remaining studies discussed factors influencing contraceptive use within the context of risky behaviour, sexual transmitted infections, or contraceptive practices more generally. Factors unique to individual communities included community attitudes (e.g. importance of not being too young to have a baby), specific cultural norms (e.g. subincising the penis as part of transition to manhood), and access to culturally appropriate health services. Other factors, including contraceptive characteristics (e.g. discomfort of condoms) and reproductive coercion (e.g. partner wants a baby), were similar to those found in the broader population of Australia and internationally. Most studies were lacking in quality, warranting more methodologically sound studies in the future to further assess the factors contributing to contraceptive use or non-use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Conclusions: Identifying community specific facilitators, as well as understanding the more broadly applicable factors contributing to contraceptive use or non-use, is essential if wanting to offer appropriate contraceptive services within an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community.]]> Tue 14 Nov 2023 14:41:56 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33364 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:03:04 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28378 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43419 Mon 19 Sep 2022 08:32:03 AEST ]]>
