  • Assessing knowledge, attitude, and practice of emergency contraception

    Open AccessFatuma A Ahmed, Kontie Moussa et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    The study showed high EC awareness and usage in contrast to other studies in the city, which could be due to the fact that university students are relatively in a better educational level. Therefore, it is highly recommended that interventions intended to combat maternal mortality through contraceptive usage need to be aware of such information specific to the target groups

  • Distribution of causes of maternal mortality among different socio-demographic groups in Ghana; a descriptive study

    Open AccessBenedict Oppong Asamoah, Kontie Moussa et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    The study shows evidence of variations in the causes of maternal mortality among different socio-demographic subgroups in Ghana that should not be overlooked. It is therefore recommended that interventions aimed at combating the high maternal mortality in Ghana should be both cause-specific as well as target-specific

  • Differences in socioeconomic and gender inequalities in tobacco smoking in Denmark and Sweden; a cross sectional comparison of the equity effect of different public health policies

    Open AccessFrida Eek, Per-Olof Östergren et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The results imply that Swedish anti-smoking policy and/or implemented measures have been less effective in a health equity perspective among the younger generation of women, but more effective among men, compared to Danish policy implementation. The results also raises the more general issue regarding the possible need for a trade-off principle between overall population efficacy versus equity efficacy of anti-tobacco, as well as general public h…

  • Are time-trends of smoking among pregnant immigrant women in Sweden determined by cultural or socioeconomic factors

    Open AccessKontie Moussa, Kontie M Moussa et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Our hypothesis that the socioeconomic time trend of smoking based on the stage of the world wide tobacco epidemic model related to country of origin of the immigrant women was not supported by our analyses. Our findings does not support a call for specific "culture sensitive" antismoking policies or interventions in Sweden or similar countries, but reinforce the existing evidence with a focus on women with a low educational level, regardless of c…

  • Socioeconomic differences in smoking trends among pregnant women at first antenatal visit in Sweden 1982–2001

    Kontie Moussa, Per-Olof Östergren et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2008

    Smoking at first antenatal visit in Sweden between 1982 to 2001 decreased in a way that conclusions regarding trends in inequalities in smoking at first antenatal visit depend on the type of measure applied. However, using the measure of total attributable fraction, which takes into consideration the impact of the exposure on the individual as well as the effect of the varying size of the group of exposed, the growing importance of educational le…

  • Never My Daughters”

    Sara Johnsdotter, Kontie Moussa et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2008

    To explore attitudes toward female genital cutting (FGC) in a migration perspective, qualitative interviews were conducted with men and women from Ethiopia and Eritrea in Sweden. We found firm rejection of all forms of FGC and absence of a guiding motive. Informants failed to see any meaning in upholding the custom. We conclude that children of Ethiopian or Eritrean parents resident in Sweden run little risk of being subjected to FGC. A societal …

  • Misclassified Maternal Deaths among East African Immigrants in Sweden

    Karin Elebro, Mattias Rööst et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health Matters2007Cited by: 1References: 18

    Western countries have reported an increased risk of maternal mortality among African immigrants. This study aimed to identify cases of maternal mortality among immigrants from the Horn of Africa living in Sweden using snowball sampling, and verify whether they had been classified as maternal deaths in the Cause of Death Registry. Three “locators” contacted immigrants from Somalia, Eritrea, and Ethiopia to identify possible cases of maternal mort…
