Key Informant Interviews. Key informants included village chiefs, pastors, and initiation ceremony counselors and were sampled purposively from areas of high unintended pregnancy occurrence. We used community gate keepers and informal networks, such as health care workers and chiefs to identify the key informants. We recruited three initiation counsellors, identified by the chiefs of the villages. The traditional birth attendant (TBA) was recruited through the Safe Motherhood coordinator. The three pastors and the chiefs were recruited through health extension workers. This sampling procedure provided a diversity of views because the participants came from various rural areas and represented diverse age groups, religious affiliations, and leadership roles.
