Combining Bart and Principal Stratification to Estimate the Effect of Intermediate Variables on Primary Outcomes with Application to Estimating the Effect of Family Planning on Employment in Nigeria a…
There is interest in learning about the causal effects of modern contraceptive use on empowerment outcomes. Data on this question often come from family planning (FP) programs that increase access to FP and facilitate contraceptive use among some women, rather than directly assigning use. Women whose contraceptive behavior changes because of these programs (“compliers”) may differ from target populations in ways that alter the consequences of con…
The Importance of the Individual in PrEP Uptake
Ideation and intention to use contraceptives in Kenya and Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Contraceptive use remains low to moderate in most African countries. Ideation or the ideas and views that people hold has been advanced as a possible explanation for differences in contraceptive use within and across countries. OBJECTIVES: In this paper, we sought to identify the relevant dimensions of ideation and assessed how these dimensions relate to contraceptive use intentions in two illustrative countries - Kenya and Nigeria. M…
Emergency Contraceptive Knowledge and Use among Urban Women in Nigeria and Kenya
Rates of emergency contraceptive (EC) use in sub‐Saharan Africa are highest in Kenya and Nigeria, although little is known about user characteristics and use dynamics in these countries. To better meet women's emergency contraceptive needs and to contribute to the limited knowledge base regarding this method in Africa, this study examines data from a sample of EC users drawn from a large, representative household survey that included sexually exp…
What Differentiates Method Stoppers from Switchers? Contraceptive Discontinuation and Switching Among Honduran Women
CONTEXT: Contraceptive discontinuation contributes to unplanned pregnancy and unwanted births, as well as increased maternal, neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. Information on differences between women who stop using contraceptives and those who switch to another method would be useful for programs aimed at preventing unplanned pregnancies and their consequences. METHODS: Data come from two rounds of interviews with women aged 15-44 (80…

Experience With Side Effects Among Users of Injectables, the IUD, and Oral Contraceptive Pills in Four Urban Areas of Honduras
Contraceptive side effects are often the most commonly reported reason for method discontinuation, particularly of modern methods. We use data from eight focus groups and 800 exit interviews to examine women's experiences with contraceptive side effects in four urban areas of Honduras. Ease of treatment and differences in motivation to avoid pregnancy are suggested explanations for why side effects cause some women to continue and others to disco…
Toward a Multidimensional Measure of Pregnancy Intentions
Widely used dichotomous categorical measures of pregnancy intentions do not represent well the complexity of factors involved in women's intentions. We used a variety of exploratory statistical methods to examine measures of pregnancy intention in the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (N = 3,032 pregnancies). Factor analyses identified two key dimensions of pregnancy intentions (desire and mistiming) and two smaller nondimensional categories …
A Positive Orientation Toward Early Motherhood Is Associated with Unintended Pregnancy Among New Orleans Youth
Salvadoran fathers' attendance at prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care
A large majority of the Salvadoran fathers participated in at least one prenatal care visit, delivery, or a postpartum well-baby care visit. While attendance alone does not necessarily indicate that men are supporting their partners, the results suggest that norms are in place for men to play positive roles in maternal-child health matters. Furthermore, the participation of fathers in these maternal and child health care activities may provide ne…

Reassessing the Level of Unintended Pregnancy and Its Correlates in Vietnam
Despite rapidly increasing contraceptive use and rapidly declining fertility, unintended pregnancy and induced abortion remain common in Vietnam. This study reassesses the level of unintended pregnancy in Vietnam and its correlates, drawing on retrospective calendar data gathered for the Vietnam Demographic and Health Survey II. Data from 13,540 “segments” of outcomes and contraceptive practice were analyzed. Based on the calendar data, 40 percen…
Men, Marriage, And Ideal Family Size In Francophone Africa
Sub-Saharan African marriage analyses typically ignore the fact that many monogamous men may intend to become polygynous in the future. Analyses using data from the Niger, Burkina Faso, and Senegal Demographic and Health Surveys illustrate that I) currently monogamous men can be divided into two distinct marriage groups based on their future marriage intentions, and 2) future marriage intentions may be associated with reported ideal family size d…
The Impact of a Family Planning Multimedia Campaign in Bamako, Mali
An integrated multimedia campaign featuring family planning messages saturated the 900,000-person city of Bamako, Mali, for three months during the spring of 1993. With traditional theater and music, family planning messages were repeatedly broadcast on radio and television that conveyed information about modern contraceptive methods, the need for male sexual responsibility, the health and economic advantages of family planning, the need for comm…
Men's desire for additional wives and children
In sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of fertility and family planning studies are of women. By ignoring men, these studies overlook the primary fertility and family decision makers. This study uses male data from Cameroon to examine how currently monogamous men make fertility and nupital decisions. Three analyses are discussed. First, an analysis of monogamous men's desire for additional wives is presented. Second, an analysis of monogamous men's …
