  • Meeting the Needs of Adolescent Post-Abortion Care Patients in the Dominican Republic

    Open AccessDonna R McCarraher, MARIO CHEN-MOK et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2010

    Counselling on contraception and contraceptive method provision are key components of post-abortion care (PAC). Some studies have suggested that adolescent PAC patients receive worse care than older women seeking these services. This study aimed to evaluate an intervention whose goal was to improve the counselling and contraceptive uptake of PAC patients, with special attention given to the needs of adolescent patients, in the four public hospita…

  • The Influence of Method-Related Partner Violence on Covert Pill Use and Pill Discontinuation Among Women Living in La Paz, El Alto and Santa Cruz, Bolivia

    Open AccessDonna R McCarraher, Sandra L Martins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2006

    Intimate partner violence is widespread worldwide. While assumed to impact women’s ability to use contraceptive methods, few data are available to support this claim. In this study, eight focus group discussions were conducted to guide questionnaire development and to provide contextual information. Participants were women who were currently using the pill and women who had used the pill previously. In addition, 300 women were interviewed who ini…

  • Adolescents’ Decision-Making and Attitudes Towards Abortion in North-East Brazil

    Open AccessPatricia Bailey, Patricia E Bailey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2003

    Three groups of adolescents are compared with regard to their own considerations of abortion and when they believe abortion is justified. One group of adolescents terminated their pregnancies ( n =95), a second became pregnant and carried their pregnancies to term but considered abortion ( n =68), and the third also carried their pregnancies to term but did not consider abortion ( n =204). The study was carried out between 1995 and 1998 in Fortal…

  • Are Reproductive Health Services a Good Place to Screen for Intimate Partner Violence

    Open AccessDonna R McCarraher, Patricia Bailey et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2003References: 1

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem and is associated with many adverse reproductive health outcomes. One intervention that has been used in the United States to address this issue is to train health care providers to screen women for IPV and refer them to services for support and counseling. For this intervention to be used in other countries, it must first be known if violence victims seek health care services…

  • Obstetric complications

    Open AccessPatricia Bailey, Patricia E Bailey et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2002

    Training TBAs may have had a positive effect on the rate, detection, and referral of postpartum complications. However, the evidence is less convincing for overall increases in the detection of complications, in referral to the formal health care system, and in the utilization of essential obstetric services among women attended by TBAs

  • Impact of Social Marketing on Contraceptive Prevalence and Cost in Honduras

    Barbara Janowitz, Margarita Suazo et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1992Cited by: 1

    In 1984, the Honduran Family Planning Association launched a contraceptive social marketing program by introducing the oral contraceptive, Perla. This report examines the impact of the program on overall oral contraceptive use, use by particular subgroups, source of supply, and costs. Although use of oral contraceptives increased only slightly over the period 1984-87 (from 12.7 percent to 13.4 percent among women in union aged 15-44), the social …

  • An evaluation of a national breast-feeding promotion programme in Honduras

    Open AccessBarry M Popkin, Judy Canahuati et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1991

    A significant increase occurred in the initiation and duration of breast-feeding among Honduran women between 1981 and 1987. Changes in population characteristics (e.g. level of education of women) would be expected to lead to a decrease in breast-feeding at each infant age, but these were offset by behavioural changes that led to an increase in the likelihood of initiation and continuation of breast-feeding. An exploration of relevant factors su…

    This paper presents data on the characteristics of oral contraceptive users in Honduras, obtained from a point-of-purchase survey conducted in pharmacies in 1986. The oral contraceptive Perla, provided by the Social Marketing Program, accounted for 42 percent of sales. Forty-five percent of those using Perla were considered "new" users; either they were purchasing contraceptives for the first time or had used only Perla. Almost half of those who …

  • TBAs in rural Northeast Brazil

    Open AccessBarbara Janowitz, Patricia Bailey et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning1988

    This paper examines factors affecting hospital referral by traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and the impact of both TBA assistance and hospital intervention on birth outcome. In the county of Traini, Brazil, 139 of 1057 women seen by TBAs over the course of a year planned to deliver at home but were referred to a hospital. An additional 119 women gave birth at home without the assistance of a TBA. Adjusted odds ratios showed that referral rates…
