abstract: Whilst the existing literature uncovers the association between contraceptive behaviour and social, cultural and economic context, little is known on the mechanisms within the context that shape contraceptive behaviour. This study aims at exploring mechanisms through which the context in which men and women of reproductive age groups from Mangochi, shape their contraceptive behaviour. The study was guided by the theory of planned behaviour (Azjen & Fishbein, 1980) and the process context approach (de Bruijn, 1999). The study includes description of the study area, stories and ideas from men and women to describe contraceptive behaviour. The information was collected through 18 in-depth interviews, three focus group discussions, three key informant interviews, literature review and observation. The findings suggest that the social, cultural, economic and ecological context help to explain contraceptive behaviour in Mangochi. The study gives an indication of the health problems that exist in Mangochi and that need attention
