‘Come on, Give Me the Pills Now’
Recent discussions on self‐managed abortion highlight its potential to reduce risks and delays while supporting reproductive rights. This qualitative paper analyses the stories of 12 women who self‐managed their abortions in Argentina. In‐depth interviews were conducted in April and May 2024. Using a framework of reproductive agency, the paper explores how legal, social, economic and personal circumstances shaped self‐management experiences. We c…
‘If her body responds then you know she wants it’
BACKGROUND: Although progress has been made, adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (ASRHR) remain a global public health concern and continued investments are necessary. The way young people perceive, and experience sexual consent is at the centre of free and informed decision-making, a critical element of ASRHR. Nevertheless, the evidence on young people's views of sexual consent remains limited, especially in low- and middle-inco…
Reproductive agency and the acceptability of divorce, abortion, and homosexuality among migrants from the Middle East and Africa living in Sweden–a cross-sectional analysis
Our study found that migrants from MENA and SSA expressed a high degree of reproductive agency. Migrants had low values of a combined measure of the acceptability of divorce, abortion and homosexuality; however, acceptance increased with time spent in Sweden. Understanding factors associated with migrants' sense of reproductive agency and their values and how these change over time in Sweden provides a foundation for working towards equitable sex…
Is reproductive agency associated with subjective well-being? A population-based cross-sectional study among men and women in four sub-Saharan African countries using the World Values Survey
We investigated the association between reproductive agency (RA) and subjective well-being (SWB) in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe using cross-sectional research design. We used nationally representative data from the World Values Survey from 2017 to 2021 (N = 4948). SWB used four items on perceived: (i) life satisfaction (range 1-10), overall life agency (range 1-10), health status (range 1-5), and happiness (range 1-4). RA used one item…

In December 2020, Argentina approved a new abortion law following decades of feminist and social advocacy. This paper presents qualitative findings from interviews and focus group discussions with people in local communities focusing on how individuals of reproductive age access and communicate sexual and reproductive health information, particularly regarding abortion. Sixteen in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants working in the…
Prevalence and associated factors for poor mental health among young migrants in Sweden
BACKGROUND: Young migrants face multiple challenges that can affect their mental, sexual and reproductive health. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of self-reported poor mental health and its associated demographic, post-migration and sexual risk behaviour factors among young migrants (aged 15-25) in Sweden. METHODS: = 6449). Among these, 990 participants aged 15-25 were eligible for the study. Mental health was measured using the Refugee Healt…
Armed conflict, insecurity, and attitudes toward women's and girls' reproductive autonomy in Nigeria
Our findings suggest that conflict and insecurity pose a threat to, but also facilitate opportunities for, women's and girls' reproductive autonomy. Contraception, abortion, early marriage, and postponement or childbearing may be perceived as risk-aversion strategies in response to mortality threats, livelihood losses, and conflict-driven sexual violence. Our findings foreshadow changes in fertility and relationship patterns in conflict-affected …
Associations between psychosocial wellbeing and experience of gender-based violence at community, household, and intimate-partner levels among a cross-sectional cohort of young people living with and …
Findings suggest that for young people in this setting, GBV at community and household levels was more prevalent during COVID-19 compared to IPV, especially for YPLWoH. While we found limited associations between COVID-related stressors and GBV, the perceived increases in GBV since lockdown in a setting where GBV is endemic, and the association of household violence with mental health, is a concern for future pandemic responses and should be long…
Addressing the second ‘R’ in sexual and reproductive health and rights
Care from distance, yet closer together
Short messaging services (SMS) for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) are growing in popularity, yet with little qualitative understanding of how such socio-technological mobile health (mHealth) interventions are experienced and shape continuity of care. In this qualitative study, we explore how WelTel, an SMS intervention for improved PMTCT retention in western Kenya, influenced women's engagement with PMTCT care. We condu…
Sexual risk-taking behaviors among young migrant population in Sweden
The results highlight the needed reconsideration of the broader system response that can influence migrant youth health outcomes and public health implications. The approach should consider and relate to sexual risk-taking behavior's long-term consequences. Migrant youth background needs and knowledge should guide this response
Sexual dysfunction among youth
While most youth in France enjoy a satisfying sexual life, sexual dysfunction is common, especially among females. Public health programs and clinicians should screen for and address sexual dysfunction, which substantially reduce youth sexual wellbeing
Characteristics of Youth Who Report Early Sexual Experiences in Sweden
Comprehensive Adolescent Health Programs That Include Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
We systematically reviewed peer-reviewed and gray literature on comprehensive adolescent health (CAH) programs (1998–2013), including sexual and reproductive health services. We screened 36 119 records and extracted articles using predefined criteria. We synthesized data into descriptive characteristics and assessed quality by evidence level. We extracted data on 46 programs, of which 19 were defined as comprehensive. Ten met all inclusion criter…
