The Impact of Contraceptive Use and Abortion on Fertility in sub-Saharan Africa
With the exception of sub-Saharan Africa, fertility has declined substantially in all regions of the developing world.The fertility decline, which started in Latin America and Asia in the 1960s, progressed rapidly through the decades that followed, reaching close to replacement level in these two regions (2.3 births per woman) in 2005-2010(Bongaarts and Casterline 2013).An incipient decline in fertility in sub-Saharan Africa was first observed in…
Factors Associated with Contraceptive Choice and Inconsistent Method Use, United States, 2004
Greater efforts are needed to provide women and their partners with a range of method options, to facilitate selection of methods that best suit their needs and circumstances, and to identify and assist users who are dissatisfied or are having difficulties using contraceptives effectively
U.S. Insurance Coverage of Contraceptives and the Impact Of Contraceptive Coverage Mandates, 2002
Coverage of reversible contraception--and by extension, choice within a range of covered methods--has increased substantially since 1993, in part because of state mandates. This state-by-state approach, however, has inherent limitations that can best be dealt with at the federal level
U.S. Insurance Coverage of Contraceptives and the Impact Of Contraceptive Coverage Mandates
A, B and C in Uganda
Uganda is often cited as a role model in the fight against HIV/AIDS because of its success in reducing both prevalence and incidence of HIV infection since the late 1980s. Although an increase in sexual abstinence has been highlighted as a primary cause of the declines, large increases have also been recorded in monogamy and condom use. The extent to which each of these factors actually influenced the overall decline in Uganda's HIV rates has bec…

Services for Men at Publicly Funded Family Planning Agencies, 1998-1999
Although most clients of publicly funded family planning agencies are women, a nonnegligible number are men. Additional efforts are needed to determine the best way to deliver reproductive health services to men
Factors Associated with the Content of Sex Education in U.S. Public Secondary Schools
Patterns in the Socioeconomic Characteristics of Women Obtaining Abortions in 2000-2001
Increased efforts are needed to help both adolescent women and adult women of all economic statuses avoid unintended pregnancies
Contraceptive Use among U.S. Women Having Abortions in 2000-2001
Women and men need accurate information about fertility cycles and about the risk of pregnancy when a contraceptive is not used or is used imperfectly. Increased use of emergency contraceptive pills could further reduce levels of unintended pregnancy and abortion
U.S. Agencies Providing Publicly Funded Contraceptive Services in 1999
Agencies offering contraceptive services also offer a wide range of reproductive health and related services. There remain services for which provision could be increased and policies that need to be modified to facilitate clients' access to contraceptive care
Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Adolescent Women's Sexual and Reproductive Behavior
CONTEXT: Differences among developed countries in teenagers' patterns of sexual and reproductive behavior may partly reflect differences in the extent of disadvantage. However, to date, this potential contribution has received little attention. METHODS: Researchers in Canada, France, Great Britain, Sweden and the United States used the most current survey and other data to study adolescent sexual and reproductive behavior. Comparisons were made w…
Differences in Teenage Pregnancy Rates among Five Developed Countries
CONTEXT: Adolescent pregnancy, birth, abortion and sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates are much higher in the United States than in most other developed countries. METHODS: Government statistics or nationally representative survey data were supplemented with data collected by private organizations or for regional or local populations to conduct studies of adolescent births, abortions, sexual activity and contraceptive use in Canada, the Unit…
Adolescent Pregnancy and Childbearing
CONTEXT: Adolescent pregnancy occurs in all societies, but the level of teenage pregnancy and childbearing varies from country to country. A cross-country analysis of birth and abortion measures is valuable for understanding trends, for identifying countries that are exceptional and for seeing where further in-depth studies are needed to understand observed patterns. METHODS: Birth, abortion and population data were obtained from various sources,…
Predicting Maternal Behaviors During Pregnancy
CONTEXT: Women's behavior during pregnancy, which can affect the health of their infant, may be influenced by their attitude toward the pregnancy. METHODS: Multivariate analyses of data from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey and the 1988 National Survey of Family Growth were conducted to investigate whether women with unplanned births differ from other women in their pregnancy behavior, independent of their social and demographi…
The Effects of Pregnancy Planning Status on Birth Outcomes and Infant Care
CONTEXT: The planning status of a pregnancy may affect a woman's prenatal behaviors and the health of her newborn. However, whether this effect is independent or is attributable to socioeconomic and demographic factors has not been explored using nationally representative data. METHODS: Data were obtained on 9,122 births reported in the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey and 2,548 births reported in the 1988 National Survey of Family…
Measuring the Extent of Abortion Underreporting in the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth
CONTEXT: Induced abortions are often severely underreported in national surveys, hampering the estimation and analysis of unintended pregnancies. To improve the level of abortion reporting, the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) incorporated new interview and self-report procedures, as well as a monetary incentive to respondents. METHODS: The weighted numbers of abortions reported in the main interview of the 1995 NSFG (Cycle 5), in the…
