Declining or Waning
- Traditional Contraceptive Methods:
Research on conventional contraceptive methods has decreased as the field shifts towards multipurpose prevention technologies and integrated approaches that address both contraception and STI prevention. - Generalized Reproductive Health Studies:
Broad studies on reproductive health without a specific focus have waned in favor of targeted research that addresses specific populations or health issues, leading to a more specialized body of knowledge. - Psychosocial Aspects of Reproductive Health:
While still relevant, the emphasis on psychosocial factors in reproductive health has declined as more empirical research on biological and clinical aspects takes precedence. - Menstrual Health Education:
There has been a decrease in studies focused solely on menstrual health education, with a shift towards more comprehensive approaches that integrate menstrual health into broader sexual and reproductive health discussions.
