Social Network Involvement in Abortion Care‐Seeking and Abortion Outcomes among a Population‐Based Sample of Nigerian Women Who Had Abortions
People often engage social networks when navigating abortion access constraints, but limited research links this involvement to abortion outcomes. This cross‐sectional study analyzed PMA2020 data from 1,144 women in Nigeria who had abortions, identified through population‐based surveys and abortion‐focused follow‐ups conducted in 2018 and 2019–2020, respectively. We examined how social network involvement in care‐seeking—specifically, in method o…
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…
Long-term physical and mental health outcomes of Ebola Virus Disease survivors in Kenema District, Sierra Leone
The 2013–2016 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemic in West Africa was the deadliest in history, with over 28,000 cases. Numerous physical and mental health symptoms have been reported in EVD survivors, although there is limited prior research on how the health of survivors compares to the general population. We conducted a survey of EVD survivors in Kenema District, Sierra Leone and a population-based sample of community members who lived in EVD-af…
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…
Impact of Covid-19 on the mental health of adolescents and youth in Nairobi, Kenya
Mental health issues were common among adolescents and youth and may have been augmented by isolation and economic hardships brought about by COVID-19 restrictions. There is a need for concerted efforts to support adolescents and young people to meet their mental health needs, while considering the unique variations by gender. There is need to urgently strengthen the mental health system in Kenya, including via integrating psychosocial support se…
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…
The Reliability of Contraceptive Discontinuation Reporting in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Uganda
Family planning researchers have been studying the discontinuation of contraception—the prevalence and reasons for it—for decades, as it has implications for contraceptive prevalence, total fertility, and unintended fertility. However little is known about the reliability of contraceptive discontinuation reporting: only two studies have examined the reliability of reported discontinuation in low‐resource contexts. We use longitudinal and overlapp…
Who are the “vanguard” women? Strategies for identifying women going against economic participation norms across 49 low- and middle-income countries
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…
Disruptions to youth contraceptive use during Covid-19
Ensuring access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for adolescents is a global priority, given the detrimental health and economic impact of unintended pregnancies. To examine whether and how COVID-19 affected access to SRH services, we use mixed-methods data from young men and women in Nairobi, Kenya to identify those at greatest risk of contraceptive disruptions during COVID-19 restrictions. Analyses utilize cross-sectional data c…
Building Bridges and Mending Fences
Our objective is to illustrate how to create and maintain a healthy flow of carefully curated communication between a research team and a community of interest using the principles of cultural brokering. We begin with a brief critical review of the existing literature on cultural brokering between immigrant and academic communities. We follow this review with a case study of cultural brokering between a research team at Tulane University and the …
Self-perceived health of older adults in Latin America and the Caribbean
Objective. To systematically map the existing evidence on self-perceived health among adults aged 60 and older in Latin America and the Caribbean, describe the use of the single-item measure of self-perceived health with this population, and identify gaps in the existing literature. Methods. Following PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, eight databases were searched for publications that were published between 2009 and 2019 and repor…
Characteristics Associated with Reliability in Reporting of Contraceptive Use
Although the reproductive calendar is the primary tool for measuring contraceptive dynamics in low‐income settings, the reliability of calendar data has seldom been evaluated, primarily due to the lack of longitudinal panel data. In this research, we evaluated the reproductive calendar using data from the Performance Monitoring for Action Project. We used population‐based longitudinal data from nine settings in seven countries: Burkina Faso, Nige…
Validation and Predictive Utility of a Person‐Centered Quality of Contraceptive Counseling (QCC‐10) Scale in Sub‐Saharan Africa
The lack of validated, cross‐cultural measures for examining quality of contraceptive counseling compromises progress toward improved services. We tested the validity and reliability of the 10‐item Quality of Contraceptive Counseling scale (QCC‐10) and its association with continued protection from unintended pregnancy and person‐centered outcomes using longitudinal data from women aged 15–49 in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Nigeria. Psychometric anal…
Self-injected contraceptives
Subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) is an innovative contraceptive method aimed at meeting women’s unique circumstances and needs, largely due to its ability to be self-injected. Substantial research and advocacy investments have been made to promote roll-out of DMPA-SC across sub-Saharan Africa. To date, research on the demand for DMPA-SC as a self-injectable method has been conducted largely with healthcare providers, via q…
Discrimination and Stress Among Asian Refugee Populations During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Covid-19 Infection and Contact Tracing Among Refugees in the United States, 2020–2021
Modern contraceptive availability and stockouts
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…
The impact of early social support on subsequent health recovery after a major disaster
Social support may facilitate disaster recovery. Prior analyses are hampered by the limits of cross-sectional approaches. We use longitudinal data from the KATIVA-NOLA survey to explore whether social support soon after Hurricane Katrina facilitated recovery of health status for a representative sample of 82 Vietnamese New Orleanians. Health and social support were assessed just before Hurricane Katrina (2005), soon afterwards (2006, 2007), and a…
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…
Trajectories of Post-Disaster Recovery in Healthcare Access for a Major Refugee Enclave
How disasters affect health care within refugee communities is not well understood. To assess how Hurricane Katrina affected healthcare utilization among Vietnamese New Orleanians we employ a representative survey that took place just before Hurricane Katrina; and at several subsequent rounds near the 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year anniversaries of this event. To assess how acculturation affected healthcare utilization during this period we use rando…
Internal migration and child health in Malawi
Assessing the contraceptive supply environment in Kinshasa, DRC
Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 (PMA2020) is a population-based and facility-based survey program conducted in 11 countries to track contraceptive use dynamics and the supply environment. Annual data collection provides trend data unavailable from any other source. Two-stage cluster sampling was used to select 58 enumeration areas in Kinshasa; data were collected in 2014, 2015 and 2016 from three to six service delivery points (SDP…
Living arrangements and health at older ages in rural Malawi
Sub-Saharan Africa's older population is projected to nearly double in size by 2030. At the same time, demographic changes have caused major shifts in the units primarily responsible for the care of older adults: the family and household. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between household composition and health at older ages in rural Malawi. We use data from the Malawi Longitudinal Study of Families and Health, which conta…
Migration, Marital Change, and HIV Infection in Malawi
Research on the relationship between migration and HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa often suggests that migrants are at higher risk of HIV infection because they are more likely to engage in HIV risk behaviors than nonmigrants, and they tend to move to areas with a relatively higher HIV prevalence. Although migration may be a risk factor for HIV infection, I instead focus on the possibility that the HIV positive are more likely to migrate. Usi…
Rural-to-Urban Migration and Changes in Health Among Young Adults in Thailand
We investigate the impacts of rural-to-urban migration on the health of young adult migrants. A key methodological challenge involves the potentially confounding effects of selection on the relationship between migration and health. Our study addresses this challenge in two ways. To control for potential effects of prior health status on post-migration health outcomes, we employ a longitudinal approach. To control for static unobserved characteri…
Intergenerational Transfers in the Era of HIV/Aids
BACKGROUND: Intergenerational transfer patterns in sub-Saharan Africa are poorly understood, despite the alleged importance of support networks to ameliorate the complex implications of the HIV/AIDS epidemic for families. OBJECTIVE: There is a considerable need for research on intergenerational support networks and transfers to better understand the mechanisms through which extended families cope with the HIV/AIDS epidemic and potentially allevia…
HIV Status, Gender, and Marriage Dynamics among Adults in Rural Malawi
Awareness of and responses to HIV health risks stemming from relations between sexual partners have been well documented in sub‐Saharan Africa, but few studies have estimated the effects of observed HIV status on marriage decisions and outcomes. We study marriage dissolution and remarriage in rural Malawi using longitudinal data with repeated HIV and marital status measurements. Results indicate that HIV‐positive individuals face greater risks of…
Does Social Participation Predict Better Health? A Longitudinal Study in Rural Malawi
Research on the relationship between social capital and individual health often suffers from important limitations. Most research relies on cross-sectional data, which precludes identifying whether participation predicts health and/or vice versa. Some important conceptualizations of social capital, like social participation, have seldom been examined. Little is known about participation and health in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, both physical…

The effect of marriage and HIV risks on condom use acceptability in rural Malawi
The factors influencing transactional sex among young men and women in 12 sub-Saharan African countries
Transactional sex may put young women and young men in sub-Saharan Africa at increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. This behavior may also put young women at higher risk of pregnancy and childbearing. Policymakers and program managers need to know what factors put youth at increased risk. We investigated this issue using logistic regression analyses of data from male and female modules of Demogra…
Health Selection, Migration, and HIV Infection in Malawi
Despite its importance in studies of migrant health, selectivity of migrants—also known as migration health selection—has seldom been examined in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This neglect is problematic because several features of the context in which migration occurs in SSA—very high levels of HIV, in particular—differ from contextual features in regions that have been studied more thoroughly. To address this important gap, we use longitudinal pane…

Characteristics Associated With Migration Among Older Women and Men in Rural Malawi
The older population in sub-Saharan Africa is growing rapidly, but little is known about the migration patterns of older individuals in this setting. In this article, we identify the determinants of migration for older individuals in a rural African setting. To do so, we use rare longitudinal data with information for older individuals both before and after migration. We first identify premigration factors associated with moving in the future and…
Rural-to-Urban Migration and Sexual Debut in Thailand
Migration from one’s parents’ home and sexual debut are common features of the transition to adulthood. Although many studies have described both of these features independently, few have examined the relationship between migration and sexual debut in a systematic manner. In this study, we explore this link for young adults in Thailand. With relatively high rates of internal migration, rapid modernization, a moderate HIV epidemic, and a declining…

HIV Risk Among Currently Married Couples in Rural Malawi
Disclosure of HIV status between spouses in rural Malawi
Disclosure of HIV status after HIV voluntary counseling and testing has important implications for the spread of the HIV epidemic and the health of individuals who are HIV positive. Here, we use individual and couples level data for currently married respondents from an ongoing longitudinal study in rural Malawi to (1) examine the extent of HIV status disclosure by HIV serostatus; (2) identify reasons for not sharing one's HIV status with a spous…

Fertility Among Orphans in Rural Malawi
CONTEXT: Although a substantial literature suggests that orphans suffer disadvantage relative to nonorphaned peers, the nature of this disadvantage and the mechanisms driving it are poorly understood. Some evidence suggests that orphans experience elevated fertility, perhaps because structural disadvantage leads them to engage in sexual risk-taking. An alternative explanation is that orphans intentionally become pregnant to achieve a sense of nor…

Are adolescent orphans more likely to be HIV-positive? A pooled data analyses across 19 countries in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive resources and numerous programmes directed towards orphans in sub-Saharan Africa, evidence of their disadvantage is surprisingly limited. While initial research suggests that orphans are at greater risk of being HIV-positive, the evidence is limited in geographic scope. METHODS: To rigorously test disparities in HIV prevalence related to orphanhood and parental HIV status in sub-Saharan Africa, we used Demographic an…
Migration and health at older age in rural Malawi
The connection between migration and health has long been established, but relatively little is known about this relationship for older persons, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this paper, we examine migration selection with regards to health status among older individuals in Malawi, by testing whether older migrants differ from non-migrants in health status before migration. To do so, we use data from the Malawi Longitudinal Study o…
