  • Availability and readiness to provide postabortion care in refugee settlements in Uganda

    Open AccessBonnie Wandera, Stephanie Küng et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Unsafe abortions contribute to 10% of preventable maternal deaths in Africa, with higher rates in humanitarian settings. In Uganda, home to 1.8 million refugees, women and girls face heightened vulnerabilities, increasing their risk of unsafe abortions. This study assessed the availability and readiness of health facilities serving Uganda's refugee settlements to provide postabortion care (PAC), identifying gaps and opportunities fo…

  • Estimating abortion incidence and unintended pregnancy among adolescents living in refugee settlements in Uganda

    Open AccessStephanie Küng, Stephanie Andrea Küng et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2026

    Adolescents living in refugee settlements have high rates of induced abortion and unintended pregnancy. Expanding access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, including safe abortion and contraception, is critical. In particular, efforts should focus on strengthening supply chains, ensuring sexual and reproductive health is integrated into humanitarian programming, and strengthening community outreach to disseminate safe abo…

    Open AccessYohannes Dibaba Wado, Stephanie Küng et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2025

  • Assessing facility capacity to provide safe abortion and post-abortion care in Liberia

    Open AccessVictor S Koko, Victor S Koko Sr et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    The study highlights the limitations to providing basic SAC and PAC among our sample of public health facilities in Liberia and the poor capacity of these health facilities to provide comprehensive PAC and SAC services in particular. Full implementation of the 2019 National Comprehensive Abortion Care Guidelines could strengthen critical SAC and PAC services by ensuring adequate resources and training of the healthcare workforce

  • Abortion-related morbidity and mortality in Sierra Leone

    Open AccessStephanie Küng, Francis Moses et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Compared to regional and global estimates, the burden of abortion-related complications in Sierra Leone is high. The recent effort to liberalize abortion law is promising; this potential legal reform must be paired with the expansion of safe abortion services to reduce abortion-related morbidity and mortality in the country. In the absence of legal change, our analysis also emphasizes the need to ensure PAC services are always free of cost, that …

  • Estimating Incidence of Induced Abortion and Unintended Pregnancy Among Women in Refugee Settlements in Uganda

    Open AccessGeorge Odwe, Peter Kisaakye et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2025Referencias: 36

    Estimates of the incidence of induced abortion and unintended pregnancies in refugee settings are lacking, limiting efforts to improve sexual and reproductive health services. We adapted the abortion incidence complications method to estimate the incidence of induced abortion and unintended pregnancy among women aged 15–49 years in refugee settlements in Uganda. We draw data from a survey of 102 health facilities providing postabortion care (PAC)…

  • Factors Associated with Support for Adolescent Access to Contraception Among Mexican Catholic Parents

    Open AccessStephanie Küng, Biani Saavedra‐Avendaño et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2021

    We used a nationally representative survey of 2186 Mexican Catholic parents to assess two outcomes: support for adolescent access to modern contraception and whether adolescents unaccompanied by an adult should have access to contraceptive methods. A majority (85%) of Mexican Catholic parents support adolescent access to modern contraceptive methods, but there was less support (28%) for access to contraception unaccompanied. Further, our results …
