Undesired Births, Contraception, and Abortion Before and After the Cairo Consensus
The Programme of Action adopted after the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), and later the Beijing Declaration, affirmed commitments to the human right to decide on the number and spacing of one's children and have the information and means to do so. In this study, we estimate trends related to this component of reproductive agency—undesired births per thousand women who want to avoid pregnancy, the conditional undesir…
Measuring the Relationship Between the 2019 Title X Final Rule and Patients’ Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Access and Behavior in Iowa Using a Difference-in-Difference Approach

Our objective was to examine the relationship between the Rule and patients’ reproductive health care access and outcomes. Methods Our analysis draws on panel data from patients recruited when seeking publicly funded family planning care in Iowa between May 2018 and Febru…
Classroom implementation of national sexuality education curricula in four low- and middle-income countries
School-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) can help adolescents acquire crucial knowledge and skills to achieve their full potential, particularly in low- and middle-income countries with higher rates of negative sexual and reproductive outcomes. While many low- and middle-income countries have developed CSE curricula, little is known about how these are implemented in the classroom. This multi-country mixed-methods study analysed chall…
An Application of the Confidante Method to Estimate Induced Abortion Incidence in Java, Indonesia
CONTEXT: Induced abortion is legally restricted and highly stigmatized in Indonesia, and is thus extremely difficult to measure. Indirect methods leveraging women's social networks, such as the Confidante Method, have shown promise in estimating hidden behaviors, including abortion, in similar settings. METHODS: A community-based survey was conducted among 8,696 women aged 15-49 in Java, Indonesia, in November 2018-January 2019. Data were collect…
Measuring the quality of sexuality education implementation at the school level in low- and middle-income countries
Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is a key component of efforts to improve sexual and reproductive outcomes for young people. While many governments have established policies and curricula for CSE, there are no quantitative measures of the quality of their implementation in schools. We describe the construction of a school-level index to measure CSE implementation quality using data from Peru, Guatemala, Kenya and Ghana for validation. The …
