Tutorials

These tutorials build up from a first simulation to customizing FPsim with your own contraceptive methods. Work through them in order; each assumes the previous ones.

If you have not installed FPsim yet, start with Installation.

Tutorial What it covers
Getting started Defining parameters, running a simulation, plotting results
Understanding contraceptive use Contraceptive choice, method mix, and how use evolves
Interventions and methods Changing method efficacy and uptake with interventions
Intervention eligibility Targeting an intervention at a specific subpopulation
Adding a new method Introducing a new contraceptive method mid-simulation

To run these locally rather than reading them, start a Jupyter environment in the docs/tutorials folder with either jupyter lab or jupyter notebook.
