  • Factors associated with reproductive autonomy in Ghana

    Dana Loll, Paul J Fleming et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2021

    Reproductive autonomy is essential for women to achieve reproductive rights and freedom. However, the factors associated with reproductive autonomy in various contexts have not been explored. The aim of this analysis was to understand the socio-demographic, reproductive history and social context variables associated with two validated reproductive autonomy sub-scales among 516 young Ghanaian women age 15 to 24. We used multiple linear regression…

  • Reproductive Autonomy and Modern Contraceptive Use at Last Sex Among Young Women in Ghana

    Dana Loll, Loll Loll et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2019

    CONTEXT: Variability in the conceptualization and measurement of women's empowerment has resulted in inconsistent findings regarding the relationships between empowerment and sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Reproductive autonomy-a specific measure of empowerment-and its role in modern contraceptive use have rarely been assessed in Sub-Saharan contexts. METHODS: Survey data were collected from a sample of 325 urban Ghanaian women aged 15-…

  • Reproductive autonomy and pregnancy decision-making among young Ghanaian women

    Open AccessDana Loll, Paul J Fleming et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2019

    Kelli Stidham Hall, Anaseini Manu et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2017Cited by: 1References: 3

    Young women's experiences with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) stigma may contribute to unintended pregnancy. Thus, stigma interventions and rigorous measures to assess their impact are needed. Based on formative work, we generated a pool of 51 items on perceived stigma around different dimensions of adolescent SRH and family planning (sex, contraception, pregnancy, childbearing, abortion). We tested items in a survey study of 1,080 women ag…

  • Pilot study of home-based delivery of HIV testing and counseling and contraceptive services to couples in Malawi

    Open AccessStan Becker, Frank Taulo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Home-based CHCT and CFP were very successful in this pilot study with high proportions of previously untested husbands and wives accepting CHCT and there were virtually no negative outcomes within one week. This study supports the need for further research and testing of home- and couple-based approaches to expand access to HCT and contraceptive services to prevent the undesired consequences of sexually transmitted infection and unintended pregna…
