Health Transitions and the Rise of Modern Contraceptive Prevalence: Demand, Access, and Choice
Improvements in health and mortality, known as the health transition, played important roles in the rise of modern contraceptive prevalence across countries. We describe key mechanisms and selected research evidence that show how health transitions helped shape contraceptive transitions around the world. Mechanisms include how decreases in child mortality rates affect the motivation to use contraception and how the organization and expansion of h…
A Systematic Review on Psychological Interventions for Sexual Health in Older Age
Surveillance of severe maternal morbidity and maternal mortality in maternity hospitals of the Latin American and Caribbean network - Red CLAP: Study protocol
The sustained reduction in maternal mortality in America underlines the need to analyse women who survived a complication that could have been fatal if appropriate and timely care had not been taken. Analysis of maternal near-miss (MNM) cases, as well as potentially life-threatening conditions (PLTC), are considered indicators for monitoring the quality of maternal care. The specific objective of this study protocol is to develop a surveillance s…
Neonatal outcomes according to different degrees of maternal morbidity: Cross-sectional evidence from the Perinatal Information System (SIP) of the CLAP network
Background The burden of maternal morbidity in neonatal outcomes can vary with the adequacy of healthcare provision and tool implementation to improve monitoring. Such information is lacking in Latin American countries, where the decrease in severe maternal morbidity and maternal death remains challenging.Objectives To determine neonatal outcomes according to maternal characteristics, including different degrees of maternal morbidity in Latin Ame…
Fortalecimiento de la investigación local para abordar la salud y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de las personas migrantes de Venezuela y América Central
Strengthening locally led research to respond to the sexual and reproductive health and rights of migrants from Venezuela and Central America
Building a network of sentinel centres for the care of women in an abortion situation: Advances in Latin America and the Caribbean
Previous reports have already estimated the overall number of abortions and the number of unsafe abortions in Latin America. Conversely, there are few reliable data from this region to inform public policies aiming to meet women’s needs. In this context, the Latin American Centre of Perinatology (Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología (CLAP)) created a network specialising in the care of women in an abortion situation (CLAP MUSA-Network) in an a…
Potential of Larc to recover loss in satisfied demand for modern contraception after the Covid-19 pandemic: A case scenario analysis of Brazil and Mexico
Objectives. To estimate inequalities in demand for family planning satisfied with modern methods among women in Latin America and the Caribbean, with an emphasis on Brazil and Mexico, and to calculate the scenario for recovery of modern contraceptive coverage by expanding access to long-acting contraceptives (LARC) after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. National health surveys from 2006 to 2018 were used to estimate the demand for family planning …
A systematic review of sexual health and subjective well-being in older age groups
Objectives. This systematic review aimed at assessing the associations between sexual health and subjective well-being in older age groups (i.e. people aged between 40 and ≥90 years). Methods. A systematic search was conducted of the Web of Science, MEDLINE, EBSCO, Scopus, SciELO and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) databases for studies published until September 2021. Search strings included a combination of terms…
Abortion-related morbidity in six Latin American and Caribbean countries: Findings of the WHO/HRP multi-country survey on abortion (MCS-A)
INTRODUCTION: Abortion-related complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among women in many Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. The objective of this study was to characterise abortion-related complication severity, describe the management of these complications and report women's experiences with abortion care in selected countries of the Americas region. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of 70 health fac…
Covid-19 and inequities in the Americas: Lessons learned and implications for essential health services
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated social, economic, and health-related disparities, which disproportionately affect persons living in conditions of vulnerability. Such populations include ethnic groups who face discrimination and experience barriers to accessing comprehensive health care. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed these health disparities, and disruptions of essential health services have further widened the gaps in access to health c…
EviSIP: Using evidence to change practice through mentorship – an innovative experience for reproductive health in the Latin American and Caribbean regions
Maternal mortality is unacceptably high in our region. In 2015, the Latin American Center for Perinatology and Women ́s Reproductive Health (CLAP) created a regional network of institutions including 16 countries, committed to improving epidemiological surveillance and healthcare of women in a situation of abortion or near miss event, using a common platform, the Perinatal Information System (SIP). The objective of the current pilot project was t…
Covid-19 and newborn health: Systematic review
Objective. To describe perinatal and neonatal outcomes in newborns exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Methods. A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed Central, LILACS, and Google Scholar using the keywords ‘covid ’ AND ‘newborn’ OR ‘child’ OR ‘infant,’ on 18 March 2020, and again on 17 April 2020. One researcher conducted the search and extracted data on demographics, maternal outcomes, diagnostic tests, imaging, and neonatal outcomes. Results.…

Evolution towards the elimination of congenital syphilis in Latin America and the Caribbean: A multicountry analysis
Objective. Effective and low-cost interventions for preventing the vertical transmission of syphilis can substantially reduce mortality and morbidity related to maternal and congenital syphilis. This study aims to identify successes and problems in eliminating congenital syphilis in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Methods. Conducted in 2015, this multicountry study included qualitative data from focal point staff members of the Pan America…
Misoprostol Preferable to Ethacridine Lactate for Abortions at 13-20 Weeks of Pregnancy: Cuban Experience
Outdated second trimester abortion methods are still being used in some countries, and very few studies have compared them to currently recommended methods. To this end, we studied the efficacy and safety of vaginal misoprostol used alone for abortions in 189 women at 13-20 weeks gestation, in 2004-2006. We also retrospectively collated similar data from an historical cohort of 189 women drawn consecutively and chronologically from hospital recor…
Woman-Centered Post-Abortion Care in Public Hospitals in Tucuman, Argentina: Assessing Quality of Care and Its Link to Human Rights
Unsafe abortion is a major public health and human rights problem in Argentina. Implementation of a woman-centered post-abortion care (PAC) model is one strategy to improve the situation. The quality of PAC services was measured in three public hospitals in Tucumán, a province with high levels of poverty and maternal mortality due to unsafe abortion. Overall, the quality of PAC services was found to be poor. Women do not receive services in a man…
