Postpartum integration of infant vaccines and contraception through gender transformative programming
Barriers to using contraception in India include norms that promote gender inequality by restricting mobility of women to reach health clinics. We evaluated whether PIVoT (Postpartum Integration of Vaccines and contraception through gender-Transformative programming) improves contraceptive use while enhancing autonomy in contraceptive decision-making. PIVoT delivers the full spectrum of contraceptive methods available along with gender-transforma…
Assessing the impact of CHARM2, a family planning program on gender attitudes, intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion, and marital quality in India
Using a two-armed cluster randomised controlled trial, CHARM2 (Counselling Husbands to Achieve Reproductive health and Marital equity), a 5-session gender equity and family planning intervention for couples in rural India, showed an impact on family planning outcomes in primary trial analyses. This study examines its effects on gender-equitable attitudes, intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion, and marital quality. We used multilevel mi…
Association of traditional marital practices with contraceptive decision-making, couple communication, and method use among couples in rural Maharashtra, India
In India, traditional social practices around marriage, such as non-involvement of prospective brides in choice of partner and timing of marriage, child/early marriage, dowry and purdah , compromise women's agency at the time of marriage and may also affect contraceptive practices in marriage. This paper examines the associations between traditional marital practices and contraceptive behaviours, including women's control over contraceptive decis…
Validation of the Fertility Norms Scale and Association with Fertility Intention and Contraceptive Use in India
Social norms related to fertility may be driving pregnancy desire, timing and contraceptive use, but measurement has lagged. We validated a 10‐item injunctive Fertility Norms Scale (FNS) and examined its associations with family planning outcomes among 1021 women and 1020 men in India. FNS captured expectations around pronatalism, childbearing early in marriage and community pressure. We assessed reliability and construct validity through Cronbac…
Examining the Longitudinal Relationship between Intimate Partner Violence and Couples’ Marital Quality in Rural India
Associations between Contraceptive Decision‐Making and Marital Contraceptive Communication and use in Rural Maharashtra, India
Women's contraceptive decision‐making control is crucial for reproductive autonomy, but research largely relies on the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) measure which asks who is involved with decision‐making. In India, this typically assesses joint decision‐making or male engagement. Newer measures emphasize female agency. We examined three measures of contraceptive decision‐making, the DHS and two agency‐focused measures, to assess their asso…
Covid-19-Related Financial Hardship, Job Loss, and Mental Health Symptoms
Several countries, including India, imposed mandatory social distancing, quarantine, and lockdowns to stop the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Although these measures were effective in curbing the spread of the virus, prolonged social distancing, quarantine, and the resultant economic disruption led to an increase in financial stress and mental health concerns. Prior studies established a link between the first lockdown and an increase in mental …
Can a Gender Equity and Family Planning Intervention for Men Change Their Gender Ideology? Results from the CHARM Intervention in Rural India
We assess the effect of CHARM, a gender equity and family planning counseling intervention for husbands in rural India, on men's gender ideology. We used a two‐armed cluster randomized control trial design and collected survey data from husbands (n=1081) at baseline, 9 months, and 18 months. We used a continuous measure of support for gender equity and a dichotomous measure of equitable attitudes toward women's role in household decision‐making. …
Access to Money and Relation to Women’s Use of Family Planning Methods Among Young Married Women in Rural India
Attitude Towards Premarital Sex among Rural College Youth in Maharashtra, India
Determinants of Spacing Contraceptive Use Among Couples in Mumbai
This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the use of spacing contraceptive methods in India, particularly from men’s perspective. Data were obtained through a semi-structured interview schedule from 2687 married men aged between 18 and 40 years from central Mumbai City, India, during 1999. Chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between various variables and the likelihoo…
