“As it is about that, they do as they please”
Accessing acceptable postabortion care (PAfor remains a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, where abortion is legally restricted and highly stigmatized, particularly for young and socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Evidence on the specific obstacles faced by these groups in rural and semi-urban settings is limited. This study explored women’s experiences with PAC quality in Kaya, a small town in Burkina Faso. We conducted in-depth intervie…
Patterns of utilization and determinants of maternal health services among women residing in low-income communities in Lagos State, Nigeria
Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality can be significantly prevented when women utilize health facilities for antenatal care (ANC), delivery and postnatal care; particularly in low-income communities in sub-Saharan Africa, where facility-based maternal care is underutilized. This study assessed the pattern of utilization and determinants of uptake of maternal health services among women residing in low-income communities in Lagos State, …
“I always know she cannot betray me.” Disclosure of abortion and methods of abortion used in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya
Despite abortion being stigmatized and legally restricted in Kenya, women still disclose their abortions within their network. Evidence has shown how stigma can influence and regulate individual abortion disclosure decisions and behaviors. This paper seeks to understand why and how women make the decisions to disclose their abortion and the associated methods used. The data are from a qualitative formative study and a respondent-driven sampling s…
Using Respondent-Driven Sampling to measure abortion safety in restrictive contexts
Background : Due to restrictive laws and limited service provision, globally the majority of induced abortions are unsafe and remain largely undocumented, despite their negative impact on women’s health. \n Objective : The purpose of this study is to test Respondent-Driven Sampling – used previously in HIV research – for abortion, and to measure abortion safety characteristics in the small town of Kaya and surrounding villages (Burkina Faso) and …
Reasons for delay in reaching healthcare with severe abortion-related morbidities
Maternal near-miss events are a key measure of maternal health; abortion-related complications are one source of near-miss events. To understand the pathway to care of women with severe abortion-related events in a fragile context, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with women who obtained treatment at a referral hospital in Jigawa State, Nigeria, in 2020–2021 (n = 61). We used the Three Delays Model (Thaddeus & Maine, 1994) to exam…
Sexual and Reproductive Health Literacy, Misoprostol Knowledge and Use of Medication Abortion in Lagos State, Nigeria
Little is known about the link between health literacy and women's ability to safely and successfully use misoprostol to self‐induce an abortion. While abortion is only allowed to save a woman's life in Nigeria, misoprostol is widely available from drug sellers. We interviewed 394 women in 2018 in Lagos State, Nigeria, who induced abortion using misoprostol obtained from a drug seller to determine their sexual and reproductive health literacy (SR…
