  • Predictive utility of key family planning indicators on dynamic contraceptive outcomes

    Open AccessAmy O Tsui, Amy Tsui et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2024Referencias: 37

    BACKGROUND: Many health and demographic surveys routinely collect information on women’s exposure to family planning (FP) messages, counseling on contraceptive side effects, discussions about FP with providers, contraceptive decision-making autonomy, and the desire for additional children. Several studies have shown significant associations with current contraceptive use status from these cross-sectional data. However, the predictive utility of t…

  • Measuring contraceptive use in India

    Open AccessKaushalendra Kumar, Abhishek Singh et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 38

    Indiaâ s National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) have provided critical population-level data to inform public policy and research. Although fertility declined, NFHS-4 (2015â 2016) reported lower modern contraceptive and female sterilization use compared with

  • Modern contraceptive availability and stockouts

    Open AccessPierre Muhoza, Alain K Koffi et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Approximately 214 million women of reproductive age lack adequate access to contraception for their family planning needs, yet patterns of contraceptive availability have seldom been examined. With growing demand for contraceptives in some areas, low contraceptive method availability and stockouts are thought to be major drivers of unmet need among women of reproductive age, though evidence for this is limited. In this research, we examined trend…

  • A sexual and reproductive empowerment framework to explore volitional sex in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessShannon N Wood, Cary Karp et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2021

    Volitional sex is central to the sexual health and well-being of women and girls globally. To date, few studies have examined women's empowerment and its application to sexual health outcomes, including volitional sex. The aim of this study was to explore the relevance of a sexual and reproductive empowerment framework to volitional sex across four geographically and culturally diverse contexts in sub-Saharan Africa. Qualitative data were collect…

  • A Panel Study of Fertility Preferences and Contraceptive Dynamics in the Presence of Competing Pregnancy Risks in Uganda

    Open AccessDana O Sarnak, Amy O Tsui et al.ARTICLEDemography2021Referencias: 53

    Although many studies have examined the influence of women's fertility preferences on subsequent fertility behavior and the role of contraceptive use intentions on unmet need, very few have explored their concurrent effects on contraceptive use dynamics. This study examines the independent concurrent effects of women's fertility preferences and contraceptive intentions on subsequent adoption and discontinuation, treating pregnancy as a competing …

  • Covert use of contraception in three sub-Saharan African countries

    Open AccessSimon Peter Sebina Kibira, Cary Karp et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Results indicate that while covert use of contraception is common, continued covert use is challenging, especially when side effects manifest. Covert use may further suggest women taking independent action, symbolizing some level of empowerment. Results underscore the importance of disentangling unique reasons for covert use and the severity of repercussions of disclosure

  • I am the master key that opens and locks

    Open AccessCary Karp, Celia Karp et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2020Citada por: 17Referencias: 35

    The WGE-SRH framework is useful for exploring SRH empowerment, embracing the multilevel, dynamic nature of empowerment, as a process transitioning from existence of choice (autonomy) to exercise of choice (self-efficacy, decision-making, negotiation), and, ultimately, to achievement of choice. Future research and programs related to SRH empowerment should distinguish between existence and exercise of choices to promote the health and well-being o…

  • Measuring family planning quality and its link with contraceptive use in public facilities in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda

    Open AccessTimothee Fruhauf, Linnea A Zimmerman et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 29

    The individual impacts of several components of family planning service quality on contraceptive use have been studied, but the influence of a composite measure synthesizing these components has not been often investigated. We (1) develop a composite score for family planning service quality based on health facility data from Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda and (2) examine the influence of structural quality on contraceptive practice in …

  • Pilot study of home-based delivery of HIV testing and counseling and contraceptive services to couples in Malawi

    Open AccessStan Becker, Frank Taulo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Home-based CHCT and CFP were very successful in this pilot study with high proportions of previously untested husbands and wives accepting CHCT and there were virtually no negative outcomes within one week. This study supports the need for further research and testing of home- and couple-based approaches to expand access to HCT and contraceptive services to prevent the undesired consequences of sexually transmitted infection and unintended pregna…

  • Use of Dual Protection Among Female Sex Workers in Swaziland [

    Eileen A Yam, Zandile Mnisi et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2013

    CONTEXT: Female sex workers are at heightened risk of both HIV infection and unwanted pregnancy. Nonbarrier modern contraceptives are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, but offer no HIV protection. A better understanding of sex workers' use of condoms and nonbarrier methods is needed to help them meet their contraceptive and STI protection needs. METHODS: A 2011 respondent-driven sampling survey collected reproductive health and contracept…

  • Effect of depressive symptoms and social support on weight and CD4 count increase at HIV clinic in Ethiopia

    Hibret Alemu, Damen Haile Mariam et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Studies have reported an inverse relationship between depressive symptoms and weight and CD4 gain and a positive association between social support and weight and CD4 gain. The main objective of this study was to explore the effect of depressive symptoms and perceived social support on weight change and CD4 cell progression in an HIV clinic in Ethiopia. The study design was descriptive cross-sectional, with a sample of 1815 HIV-infected adults ag…

  • Developing scales to measure perceived HIV risk and vulnerability among Ethiopian women testing for HIV

    Heather Bradley, Amy O Tsui et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    HIV prevention services are increasingly being used by individuals in developing countries, but we know very little about how self-assessed HIV risk determines health-seeking behavior. People may feel they are at risk of HIV infection for many reasons, including both risky behavior and anxiety associated with heightened HIV awareness. In order to improve the measurement of perceived HIV risk, we developed scales measuring two constructs. Perceive…

  • Three methods of estimating births averted nationally by contraception

    Li Liu, Stan Becker et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2008Referencias: 18

    This paper compares the performance of three methods applicable to national-level demographic data of estimating births averted as a consequence of contraceptive practice. Two are based on the relationship between the general fertility rate (GFR) or total fertility (TFR) and contraceptive prevalence, while the third uses Bongaarts' proximate determinants (PD) model. Estimates of the number of births averted and the percentage by which the number …
