The consequences of unintended births for maternal and child health in India
Data from the Indian National Family Health Survey, 2005-06 were used to explore how pregnancy intention at the time of conception influences a variety of maternal and child health and health care outcomes. Results indicate that mistimed children are more likely than wanted children to be delivered without a skilled attendant present (OR = 1.3), to not receive all recommended vaccinations (OR = 1.4), and to die during the neonatal and postneonata…
Women's Use of Private and Government Health Facilities for Childbirth in Nairobi's. Informal Settlements
The private sector's role in increasing the use of maternal health care for the poor in developing countries has received increasing attention, yet few data exist for urban slums. Using household‐survey data from 1,926 mothers in two informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya, collected in 2006, we describe and examine the factors associated with women's use of private and government health facilities for childbirth. More women gave birth at private …

Women's Status and Domestic Violence in Rural Bangladesh
We explore the determinants of domestic violence in two rural areas of Bangladesh. We found increased education, higher socioeconomic status, non-Muslim religion, and extended family residence to be associated with lower risks of violence. The effects of women's status on violence was found to be highly context-specific. In the more culturally conservative area, higher individual-level women's autonomy and short-term membership in savings and cre…

Mortality Reductions from Health Interventions
Researchers used data from rural Matlab Bangladesh to examine potential mortality reductions from immunization. 20.5% of all neonatal deaths were attributable to tetanus. These deaths were very high during days 1-2. Nevertheless the number of deaths attributable to tetanus compared to all causes of death showed no tetanus deaths during days 1-4 (the primary risk period) and tetanus deaths were clustered in days 7-8. Moreover tetanus deaths accoun…
