  • Assessing abortion safety among young women in Ghana

    Open AccessCharlotte Abra Esime Ofori, D Yaw Atiglo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Population Research2025References: 2

    Recent literature on induced abortion indicates a departure from the binary safe and unsafe classification of abortion methods to a more nuanced distinction between types of abortions as safe, less safe and least safe. This study assesses predictors of induced abortion safety among 1,561 women aged 15–34 years with experience of induced abortion and map the spatial distribution using data from the 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey. Multinomial re…

  • Covid-19, relationships, and contraception

    Open AccessAdriana A E Biney, Esinam Kayi et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2023

    Globally, family planning services were disrupted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to these services was a challenge for sexually active urban youth, and this warrants investigation. Using in-depth interview data, we qualitatively explored the effect of the lockdown on the relationship quality and contraception behaviour of emerging adults (19-24 year olds) who were in relationships during a specified lockdown period. Participan…

  • Women's empowerment, children's nutritional status, and the mediating role of household headship structure

    Open AccessAaron Kobina Christian, D Yaw Atiglo et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2023

    We aimed to examine the association between women's empowerment and childhood nutritional status while accounting for the mediating role of household headship structure. Cross-country, cross-sectional quantitative data from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (2015-2018) were used. Women's empowerment was measured as a composite index of participation in household decision-making, attitude towards domestic violence, and asset ownership…

  • Misperception of drivers of risk alters willingness to adapt in the case of sargassum influxes in West Africa

    Open AccessD Yaw Atiglo, Philip-Neri Jayson-Quashigah et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2023References: 2

    Since 2011, large influxes of a brown macroalgae (pelagic sargassum seaweed) have proliferated across the Tropical Atlantic basin, its dispersal and seasonality theorized to be driven by localized and large scale winds and currents, in combination with changes in the Atlantic Meridional Mode and ocean upwelling. These influxes seasonally affect coastal populations across the breadth of the Tropical Atlantic (from central America to West Africa), …

  • Rural out-migration from Ghana's development zones and household food security

    Open AccessD Yaw Atiglo, Aaron Kobina Christian et al.ARTICLEMigration and Development2022

    Food security and human migration are both major developmental issues for governments, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, scholarship on the links between rural out-migration and food insecurity remains ambiguous about migrants in their destination and lacks ample comparison with the place of origin. Using data from the nationally representative Ghana Living Standards Survey (Round 7), we employed multinomial logit functions to examine …

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between previous pregnancy outcomes and subsequent contraceptive behaviours among unmarried young women intending to delay childbearing. Using data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey, among 1118 sexually experienced, fecund and non-pregnant unmarried women aged 15–24 years, the study assessed how childbirth and abo…

  • Does financial autonomy imply reproductive and sexual autonomy? Evidence from urban poor women in Accra, Ghana

    Naa Dodua Dodoo, D Yaw Atiglo et al.ARTICLEAfrican Studies2019Cited by: 1References: 30

    This article investigates the association between financial autonomy and three other measures of autonomy – sexual autonomy, perceived reproductive autonomy and actual reproductive autonomy in Ga-Mashie, Accra, Ghana. From anthropological accounts, the financial independence of women from this community, coupled with unique living arrangements, have resulted in them being independent and autonomous. The analytical sample consists of 172 women who…
