Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated a two-level intervention package focusing on person-centred communication (PCC) for preventing female genital mutilation (FGM) in primary care settings across 180 antenatal clinics in Guinea, Kenya, and Somalia.
- - Results showed that providers trained in the PCC were significantly more likely to engage in FGM prevention conversations and felt more confident in their knowledge and communication skills about FGM compared to the control group.
- - Clients receiving the intervention displayed decreased support for FGM and lower intentions to have their daughters undergo FGM or seek medicalized FGM, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention in changing attitudes.
