Methodology
The Contraception Atlas Methodology is based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). When facing a problem of decision making, for example, selection of the best alternative or benchmarking of alternatives, one has to consider many factors, objectives, and criteria with respect to the goal (e.g. cost, available resources, …). Afterwards, based on selected objectives, one has to consider different alternatives and choose the one that seems to be the best with respect to meeting all the requirements. Additionally, there might be multiple decision makers who are addressing the same issue with different points of view on the problem.
Who is behind the Atlas
A group of experts in sexual and reproductive health and rights designed the questions and structures for the Contraception Atlas. They include medical doctors, academics, youth representatives and politicians with many years of experience and drawn from both Eastern and Western Europe. This groups continue to provide key guidance to the project as the Contraception Atlas evolves.
