Agency and Opportunity in Early Adolescence
INTRODUCTION: Little research has explored the relationship of opportunity structures, such as parental influence and neighborhood context, with the development of individual agency amongst adolescents, particularly in understanding gender-specific relationships. METHODS: We use longitudinal data from 1188 boys and 1153 girls who were age 10-14 at enrollment and followed for up to 5 years during the Global Early Adolescent Study in Kinshasa, DRC …
Quality of care offered by health care retail markets for medication abortion self-management
Dispensing of misoprostol and mifepristone by pharmacies and chemist shops for self-management of medication abortion (MA) fills a crucial gap in settings where abortion care by trained health professionals is not readily available. This promising service delivery pathway, endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), is hindered by concerns of poor-quality care. Simulated clients collected data on MA pill dispensing practices from 92 pharmaci…
Changing paradigms to address gender health inequities for all
Gender health inequalities escalate during early adolescence, a critical period shaping lifelong health trajectories. Boys face heightened mortality, due to elevated rates of externalizing disorders such as conduct issues and substance use, while girls grapple with higher levels of internalizing disorders such as depression and sexual/reproductive health conditions, contributing to increased morbidity. Although global initiatives are bolstering g…
Evaluating Contraceptive Empowerment Among Women and Girls in Sub‐Saharan Africa
This study evaluates the contraceptive empowerment subscale of the Women's and Girls’ Empowerment in Sexual and Reproductive Health (WGE‐SRH) index across seven sub‐Saharan African countries. Using structural equation modeling and logistic regression among population‐based samples of women aged 15–49, we find evidence that the abbreviated eight‐item subscale is a reliable measure of contraceptive empowerment (Cronbach's alpha range: 0.67–0.78), s…

La céramique des xie et xiie s. dans le bassin lavallois (Mayenne). Première synthèse
Des fouilles récentes à Laval et dans ses environs ont mis au jour un nombre important de céramiques issues de plusieurs contextes des xie et xiie s., période pour laquelle la céramique du bassin lavallois est mal documentée. L’analyse croisée des poteries de quatre sites de Laval et ses environs permet de compléter le répertoire des formes pour ces deux siècles. L’étude de leur approvisionnement renouvelle la connaissance des productions potière…
A qualitative exploration of reproductive coercion experiences and perceptions in four geo-culturally diverse sub-Saharan African settings
Reproductive coercion (RC) is any intentional behavior that interferes with another's reproductive decision-making or pregnancy outcome. This study aims to qualitatively examine RC experiences and perceptions among women and men in Ethiopia, Nigeria (Kano and Anambra States), and Uganda. This is a secondary analysis utilizing qualitative data from the Women's and Girls' Empowerment in Sexual and Reproductive Health study. Across sites, focus grou…
Abortion information-seeking experiences among women who obtained abortions in Kinshasa, DRC
Little is known about the process of seeking information related to abortion care options among women in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Understanding how women obtain information can help identify opportunities for intervention to increase awareness and use of safe pregnancy termination options. Using qualitative data collected from women in Kinshasa, DRC who reported having an abortion in the last 10 years, this study aims to determine …
Family planning service disruptions in the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic
Many speculated that COVID-19 would severely restrict the delivery of essential health services, including family planning (FP), but evidence of this impact is limited, partly due to data limitations. We use cross-sectional data collected from regional and national samples of health facilities (n = 2,610) offering FP across seven low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) between 2019 and 2021, with longitudinal data from four geographies, to exami…
Trajectories of personal agency by gender and pubertal development among adolescents in Kinshasa
Young people develop/acquire different forms of agency at different stages of adolescence and development is not uniform across forms. Gender inequalities in agency amplify at puberty, signaling the need to intervene at or before this critical stage of development
Change in Fertility Intentions in the First Year of Covid-19
Recent evidence suggests that women in high-income countries desired to delay or forgo childbearing due to COVID-19, yet there remains insufficient evidence of COVID-19's impact on fertility desires in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We examined how quantum and tempo of fertility intentions changed in the first year of COVID-19 and assessed the impact of economic insecurity and sociodemographic characte…
Abortion incidence and safety in Niger in 2021
Niger is a country in which legal restrictions and a dearth of research has long limited our understanding of the extent and safety of induced abortion. The current study is the first national study of induced abortion in Niger. It uses direct (self-report) and indirect (best friend method) to provide nationally representative estimates of induced abortion incidence and safety and evaluates the performance of the indirect measurement approach. We…
Un premier sanctuaire celtique en Aquitaine. Résultats des fouilles menées en 2020 sur l’agglomération ouverte de La Peyrouse (Saint-Félix-de-Villadeix, Dordogne)
Le site de La Peyrouse (Saint-Félix-de-Villadeix, Dordogne) a été découvert en 2014 par C. Chevillot. Les opérations archéologiques menées depuis confirment l’existence d’une vaste agglomération ouverte à vocation artisanale et com-merciale et occupée du IIIe s. a.C. au IIe s. p.C. L’agglomération de La Peyrouse doit probablement son implantation et son développement économique à deux principaux facteurs : d’une part l’existence d’une voie terres…
Stability and change in fertility intentions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in Kenya
Fertility intentions are expected to decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic but limited empirical research on this topic has been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. Longitudinal data from Kenya, with baseline (November 2019) and follow-up (June 2020) data, were used to 1) assess the extent to which individual-level fertility intentions changed, and 2) examine how security, specifically economic and health security, affected fertility intentions. The …
Child Sexual Abuse in the Roman Catholic Church in France
This study aims to estimate and compare Roman Catholic Church-related child sexual abuse (CSA) prevalence and characteristics to CSA in other social spheres in France since 1950. Using a cross-sectional representative web-based survey of 28,026 adults in 2021, the weighted prevalence of CSA was estimated according to six social spheres of perpetration: family, Church, school, sports club, artistic activities, and summer camps. Altogether, 14.60%,…
Mental health consequences of military sexual trauma
MST is associated with mental health distress among service members in the French military, especially for women. The heightened risk of MST coupled with psychological sequelae call for preventive programs to reduce MST and for screening programs to provide adequate psychological support
Contraceptive Use Before and After Abortion
Post‐abortion contraception enables women to effectively manage their fertility to prevent unintended pregnancies. Using data from population‐based surveys of women aged 15–49 in Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire, we examined contraceptive dynamics immediately before and after an abortion and examined factors associated with these changes using multivariable logistic regressions. Covariates included sociodemographic characteristics, abortion source, post…
Social Network‐Based Induced Abortion Incidence Estimation in Burkina Faso
Social network‐based methods are increasingly used to estimate induced abortion incidence and investigate correlates. Approaches differ in the social tie definitions used to identify which social network members’ abortion experiences respondents will report. This study compares the effect of using the “best friend” (closest female friend) versus “confidante” (specifying mutual sharing of personal information) definition on abortion incidence esti…

Postabortion care availability, facility readiness and accessibility in Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire
Postabortion care (PAC) is an essential component of emergency obstetric care (EmOC) and is necessary to prevent unsafe abortion-related maternal mortality, but we know little regarding the preparedness of facilities to provide PAC services, the distribution of these services and disparities in their accessibility in low-resource settings. To address this knowledge gap, this study aims to describe PAC service availability, evaluate PAC readiness …
A sexual and reproductive empowerment framework to explore volitional sex in sub-Saharan Africa
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…
Family Planning Beliefs and Their Association with Contraceptive Use Dynamics
Norms and beliefs toward contraception, both positive and negative, motivate contraceptive use; however, they have seldom been explored longitudinally in low‐ and middle‐income countries, limiting our understanding of their influence on contraceptive dynamics. We used PMA2020 Uganda national longitudinal data of reproductive aged women in 2018 (baseline) and 2019 (follow‐up) to explore discontinuation and switching among modern contraceptive user…
Interviewing the Interviewers
A growing body of literature in low- and middle-income countries is challenging the long-held assumption that the respondent and interviewer should be strangers. We conducted a qualitative study in Burkina Faso comprised of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to explore interviewers' experiences of collecting data on sexual and reproductive health indicators in their communities, and their perceptions of how familiarity with the respo…
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the consequences of female genital mutilation on maternal and perinatal health outcomes in European and African countries
This review suggests maternal and perinatal morbidity related to FGM vary by study design, context and by subgroup of women. Our study also draws attention to the complications that may extend to the postpartum period. This work contributes to shaping a reference framework for future research and clinical guidelines
Inequities in the incidence and safety of abortion in Nigeria
Background: We know little about the frequency, correlates and conditions under which women induce abortions in Nigeria. This study seeks to estimate the 1-year induced abortion incidence and proportion of abortions that are unsafe overall and by women's background characteristics using direct and indirect methodologies. Methods: Data for this study come from a population-based, nationally representative survey of reproductive age women (15-49) i…
I am the master key that opens and locks
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…
Determinants of and Disparities in Reproductive Health Service Use Among Adolescent and Young Adult Women in the United States, 2002–2008
Objectives. We investigated determinants of and disparities in reproductive health service use among young women in the United States from 2002 to 2008. Methods. Using data on 4421 US women aged 15 to 24 years from the National Survey of Family Growth (2002, n = 2157; 2006–2008, n = 2264), we employed descriptive and univariate statistics and multivariate regression models to examine service use across women's sociodemographic and reproductive ch…
Improving Survey Participation
The general decrease in telephone survey response rates leads to potential selection and estimation biases. As nonrespondents can be broken down into noncontacts and refusals, different strategies can be deployed—increasing the number of call attempts before abandoning a number, and calling back refusals/abandonments to persuade them to participate. Using a two-stage random-digit-dialing sample of 8,645 individuals aged 15–49 for a survey on sexu…

The Effect of Access to Emergency Contraceptive Pills on Women's Use of Highly Effective Contraceptives
We examined changes in contraceptive behaviors after emergency contraception (EC) pill use. A nationally representative cohort of 2863 French women was studied to identify 272 instances of EC pill use. In 71% of the cases, we found no changes in contraceptive practices from the time of EC pill use to 6 months later: 41% of women continued use of highly effective methods and 30% continued less effective methods. Only 8.4% switched from highly effe…

Sexual Activity and Weekly Contraceptive Discontinuation and Selection Among Young Adult Women in Michigan
Understanding young women's contraceptive and pregnancy prevention behaviors is important for helping women and their partners control if and when they have children. Prior research on associations between patterns of sexual activity and contraceptive behaviors is limited. We assessed the influence of recent sexual activity on discontinuation and selection of specific contraceptive methods. We used weekly data from the Relationship Dynamics and S…
The Use of a Nonprobability Internet Panel to Monitor Sexual and Reproductive Health in the General Population
Background: Reliability of nonprobability online volunteer panels for epidemiological purposes has rarely been studied. Objectives: To assess the quality of a questionnaire on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) administered in a nonprobability Web panel and in a random telephone survey ( n = 8,992; n = 8,437, age 16-49 years). Especially, we were interested in the possible difference in the association of sociodemographic variables and some out…
Circonstances des échecs et prescription contraceptive post-IVG
L'analyse des trajectoires contraceptives des femmes autour de l'IVG confirme les liens étroits entre contraception et avortement, en montrant que le recours à l'avortement traduit avant tout les difficultés de la pratique contraceptive au quotidien. Près de deux tiers des IVG (64 %) sont liées à des échecs de contraception, les grossesses survenant parmi les utilisatrices de pilule représentant le quart des IVG en France. Si l'IVG correspond à u…

Induced Abortion Incidence and Safety in Rajasthan, India
Despite induced abortion being broadly legal in India, up‐to‐date information on its frequency and safety is not readily available. Using direct and indirect methodological approaches, this study measures the one‐year incidence and safety of induced abortions among women in the state of Rajasthan. The analysis utilizes data from a population‐based survey of 5,832 reproductive aged women who reported on the abortion experiences of their closest fe…
Reducing Unintended Pregnancies
Although the rate of contraceptive use in France is high, more than one‐third of pregnancies are unintended. We built a dynamic microsimulation model that applies data from the French COCON study on method switching, discontinuation, and failure rates to a hypothetical population of 20,000 women, followed for five years. We use the model to estimate the adjustment factor needed to make the survey data fit the demographic profile of France by adju…
Associations Between Sexual and Reproductive Health Communication and Health Service Use Among U.S. Adolescent Women
Further research is needed to assess whether comprehensive sexual and reproductive health communication facilitates adolescents' health care utilization. Examination of how communication sources, quality and content are related to service use is needed to understand adolescents' sexual and reproductive health knowledge and needs

Sexual dysfunction among youth
While most youth in France enjoy a satisfying sexual life, sexual dysfunction is common, especially among females. Public health programs and clinicians should screen for and address sexual dysfunction, which substantially reduce youth sexual wellbeing
Service Delivery Correlates of Choosing Short-Acting Contraceptives at the Time of Uterine Evacuation in Bangladesh
CONTEXT: The World Health Organization recommends that contraceptives be offered on the day of a uterine evacuation procedure (i.e., induced abortion or postabortion care for an incomplete abortion). Short-acting methods can be initiated on the day of the uterine evacuation, regardless of procedure type. METHODS: Survey data from a facility-based sample of 479 Bangladeshi women aged 18-49 who did not intend to become pregnant in the four months f…
Measuring gender norms about relationships in early adolescence
This study reveals common perceptions of gendered norms about romantic engagement in early adolescence, normative for both sexes, but socially valued for boys while devaluated for girls. The findings illustrate that social hierarchies of power in romantic relationships form early in adolescence, regardless of cultural setting
Sexual health in the French military
These results highlight gendered pattern of sexual health in the French military with women suffering greater sexual risks than men. Military health services should include women's health services to address the sexual and reproductive health gender gap
Yeah, I’ve grown; I can’t go out anymore’
This analysis is based on data from the Global Early Adolescent Study, which aims to understand the factors that predispose young people aged 10-14 years to positive or negative health trajectories. Specifically, interview transcripts from 202 adolescents and 191 parents across six diverse urban sites (Baltimore, Ghent, Nairobi, Ile Ife, Assuit and Shanghai) were analysed to compare the perceived risks associated with entering adolescence and how…

Reconceptualizing Women's and Girls' Empowerment
CONTEXT: Improving women's empowerment is pivotal to public health and development programs; however, inconsistent definitions and lack of cross-cultural measures compromise monitoring efforts. METHODS: Data collected in 2017-2018 in Ethiopia, Uganda and two sites in Nigeria were used to develop a cross-cultural index of women's and girls' empowerment in sexual and reproductive health (WGE-SRH). Item development was grounded in qualitative interv…
The French pill scare and the reshaping of social inequalities in access to medical contraceptives
While the consequences of various "pill scares" have been relatively well-documented in the public health literature revealing a drop in pill use and a rise in unplanned pregnancies and abortion rates, researchers rarely considered that these controversies would affect women contraceptive practices differently according to their social background. Indeed, social differentiations in reaction to "pill scares" could contribute to reinforce the socia…
