DESCRIPTION:Please Join Catalina Herrera Almanza to discuss agency in the d
 omain of contraceptive and reproductive decision-making as a fundamental d
 eterminant of women's well-being. We experimentally evaluate two approache
 s aimed at improving women's reproductive agency in rural India. We offere
 d treated women subsidized family planning services at a local clinic. Add
 itionally\, we enabled a subset of treated women to incentivize others to 
 visit the clinic with them\, thereby enabling them to leverage peer suppor
 t to overcome mobility barriers. Although women who received just the subs
 idy experienced a significant increase in their clinic visits and contrace
 ptive use relative to the control group\, offering both the subsidy and th
 e option to leverage peer support was more effective in strengthening repr
 oductive agency and peer engagement for women who faced greater intrahouse
 hold opposition to contraceptive use.
