Background: Reproductive health and mental health are intertwined, but studies investigating family planning needs and desire for children in mental healthcare are scarce.
Methods: We studied the experiences of (former) patients, those with close relationships with the (former) patients (close ones) and mental health professionals (MHP) on discussing family planning and desire for children in mental healthcare. We combined quantitative (two nationwide surveys) and qualitative data (four focus groups) in a mixed-methods approach with sequential analytical design.

Methods: A deductive or direct qualitative content analysis using CFIR was employed to explore the contextual factors impacting the implementation of a nationwide QIC and participating organizations.
