How Do We Measure Contraceptive Method Preferences? Evidence From a Scoping Review
Despite the growing interest in person‐centered measures for family planning and the importance of reproductive preferences, little is known about the measurement of contraceptive preferences. Population surveys have implicitly assumed that contracepting people have achieved their method of choice. In this scoping review, we explored how contraceptive method preferences have been defined and measured in different settings. We included 55 articles…
Measuring Women’s Economic Empowerment in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso
There are multiple tools to measure women’s economic empowerment but limited information exists about their cross-cultural validity and reliability. This study assesses the psychometric properties of ten questions measuring two dimensions of women’s economic empowerment. It uses cross-sectional data from six low-and-middle-income settings: Kinshasa and Kongo Central (Demographic Republic of Congo), Kenya, Lagos and Kano (Nigeria), and Burkina Fas…
Are Contraceptive Method Preferences Stable? Measuring Change in the Preferred Method among Kenyan Women
Contraceptive preferences are important for reproductive outcomes, such as contraceptive continuation and pregnancy. Current approaches to measuring reproductive preferences in population surveys are limited to exploring only fertility preferences and implicitly assume that contracepting people are using a method they want. We know that people change their fertility preferences over the life course as a response to life events, but there is no in…
Does the fulfillment of contraceptive method preferences affect contraceptive continuation? Evidence from urban Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal
BACKGROUND Although interest in patient-centered family planning measures is growing, little is known about women’s preferences for contraceptive methods and whether these preferences influence contraceptive behaviors. OBJECTIVE We assessed whether the fulfillment of contraceptive preferences affected women’s decisions to continue, switch, or stop using contraception. METHODS Data came from a panel of urban Kenyan, Nigerian, and Senegalese women …
Everyday capabilities were a path to resilience during Covid-19
COVID-19 demanded urgent responses by all countries, with wide variations in the scope and sustainability of those responses. Scholarship on resilience has increasingly emphasized relational considerations such as norms and power and how they influence health systems’ responses to evolving challenges. In this study, we explored what influenced countries’ national pandemic responses over time considering a country’s capacity to test for COVID-19. …
Past local government health spending was not correlated with Covid-19 control in US counties
Increasing resource availability for public health in local jurisdictions without thoughtful attention to bolstering the foundational capabilities inside health departments is unlikely to be sufficient to prepare the country for future outbreaks or other public health emergencies
Being Accountable for Capability—Getting Public Health Reform Right This Time
County health outcomes linkage to county spending on social services, building infrastructure, and law and order
Will counties that reallocate money from law enforcement to social services improve subsequent markers of population wellbeing? In this study, we measure the association between county government spending across multiple sectors and Life Expectancy at Birth (LEB) in the U.S. using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. We constructed a Structural Equation Model to determine whether social expenditure, building infrastructure, and spending on law and o…
The Role of Public Health Expenditures in Covid-19 control
For over 150 years the local health departments of England have been critical in controlling 19 th and 20 th century infectious epidemics. However, recent administrative changes have hollowed out their flexibility to serve communities. We use administrative data on past budgetary allocations per capita to public health departments at upper tier local areas (UTLAs) of England to examine whether public health funding levels were correlated with mor…
Is Client Reporting on Contraceptive Use Always Accurate? Measuring Consistency and Change with a Multicountry Study
The consistency of self‐reported contraceptive use over short periods of time is important for understanding measurement reliability. We assess the consistency of and change in contraceptive use using longitudinal data from 9,390 urban female clients interviewed in DR Congo, India, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. Clients were interviewed in‐person at a health facility and four to six months later by phone. We compared reports of contrace…
The slowing pace of life expectancy gains since 1950
Contrary to the expectation that advances in health technology and spending would hasten improvements in LEB, we found that the pace-of-growth of LEB has slowed around the world
