Use of modern contraceptive methods and pregnancy planning
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between unplanned pregnancy and use of modern contraceptive methods at 3-, 12-, and 24-months postpartum using an intersectional approach for examining inequalities, in the 2015 Pelotas birth cohort, Brazil. METHODS: We evaluated the use of modern contraceptives after delivery, comparing women who had planned and unplanned pregnancies in 2015. The number of women included in this study was: 4,021, 3,687,…
Women’s Empowerment as It Relates to Attitudes Towards and Practice of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting of Daughters
Background: Women's empowerment may play a role in shaping attitudes towards female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) practices. We aimed to investigate how empowerment may affect women's intention to perpetuate FGM/C and the practice of FGM/C on their daughters in African countries. Materials and methods: We used data from Demographic and Health Surveys carried out from 2010 to 2018. The countries included in our study were Benin, Burkina Faso,…
Is women’s empowerment associated with coverage of RMNCH interventions in low- and middle-income countries? An analysis using a survey-based empowerment indicator, the SWPER
BACKGROUND: Women's empowerment has a strong potential to promote sustainable development. We evaluate the association between women's empowerment and the Composite Coverage Index (CCI), a weighted average of coverage of eight interventions in reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH). We also assess whether these effects are modified by wealth. METHODS: We used Demographic and Health Survey data from 62 low- and middle-income coun…
Intimate partner violence in 46 low-income and middle-income countries
Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a critical public health issue that transcends social and economic boundaries and considered to be a major obstacle to the progress towards the 2030 women, children and adolescents' health goals in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Standardised IPV measures have been increasingly incorporated into Demographic and Health Surveys carried out in LMICs. Routine reporting and…
Early childhood suspected developmental delay in 63 low- and middle-income countries
Postgraduate Program in Epidemiology, Federal University of Pelotas, Pelotas, Brazil. BACKGROUND: The Sustainable Development Goals call for inclusive, equitable and quality learning opportunities for all. This is especially important for children, to ensure they all develop to their full potential. We studied the prevalence and inequalities of suspected delay in child development in 63 low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: We used the early…
The impact of women’s empowerment on their children’s early development in 26 African countries
BACKGROUND: Every year more than 200 million children under-five years fail to achieve their full developmental potential in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although women ́s empowerment has been associated with improved child health and development outcomes, this is a topic little studied in LMICs. We investigated the associations between women ́s empowerment and early childhood development among a sample population of 84537 children a…
SWPER Global
In 2017, a survey-based women's empowerment index (SWPER) was proposed for African countries, including three domains: social independence, decision making and attitude to violence. External validity and predictive value of the SWPER has been demonstrated in terms of coverage of maternal and child interventions and use of modern contraception. To determine its value for global monitoring, we explored the applicability of the SWPER in national hea…
Association between availability of children’s book and the literacy-numeracy skills of children aged 36 to 59 months
BACKGROUND: Stimulating home environments that have children's books, pictures and play toys facilitate caregiver-child interactions and enhance children's development. Although this has been demonstrated in small-scale intervention studies, it is important to document whether book ownership is beneficial at large scale in low and middle-income settings. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis using data from the multiple-indicator cluster sur…
Time trends in demand for family planning satisfied
BACKGROUND: Universal access to family planning is key to extend its health and economic benefits worldwide. Our aim was to track progress in demand for family planning satisfied with modern methods (mDFPS) and its inequalities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS: Analyses were based on Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys carried out between 1993 and 2017 in 73 LMICs, using data for married women…
Crises econômicas, mortalidade de crianças e o papel protetor do gasto público em saúde
O objetivo do estudo foi analisar como as crises econômicas afetam a saúde infantil a nível global e entre subgrupos de países com diferentes níveis de renda. Foram utilizados dados do Banco Mundial e da OMS para 127 países entre os anos de 1995 e 2014. Foi utilizado um modelo de efeitos fixos, avaliando o efeito da mudança em indicadores macroeconômicos (PIB per capita, taxa de desemprego e de inflação, e taxa de desconforto) na taxa de mortalid…

Demand for family planning satisfied with modern methods among sexually active women in low- and middle-income countries
Family planning is key for reducing unintended pregnancies and their health consequences and is also associated with improvements in economic outcomes. Our objective was to identify groups of sexually active women with extremely low demand for family planning satisfied with modern methods (mDFPS) in low- and middle-income countries, at national and subnational levels to inform the improvement and expansion of programmatic efforts to narrow the ga…
The SWPER index for women's empowerment in Africa
BACKGROUND: The Sustainable Development Goals strongly focus on equity. Goal 5 explicitly aims to empower all women and girls, reinforcing the need to have a reliable indicator to track progress. Our objective was to develop a novel women's empowerment indicator from widely available data sources, broadening opportunities for monitoring and research on women's empowerment. METHODS: We used Demographic and Health Survey data from 34 African countr…
After 10 years, how do changes in asset ownership affect the Indicador Econômico Nacional
OBJECTIVE Our main objective was to analyse how the evolution of household assets ownership affected the Indicador Econômico Nacional (IEN – National Wealth index) and to point out the most stable assets and which lost importance more quickly. METHODS We analysed the trend of the ownership of each IEN variable and the distribution of the households’ scores. We calculated the correlation coefficients of each variable separately with the IEN score …
Factors associated with smoking cessation in Brazil
Tobacco has been identified as the drug with the highest addiction rate and the leading cause of avoidable deaths. The current study thus aimed to identify the determinants of smoking cessation in a Brazilian population sample based on data from the National Household Sample Survey for 2008. The study analyzed socioeconomic, residential, and health-related data as well as individual habits. Data analysis used Poisson regression. The following fac…
