How It Was and How It Should Be
Contraceptive prevalence among unmarried women—calculated from the response to a version of the question— “Are you or your partner currently doing something or using any method to delay or avoid getting pregnant?” is most accurately measured among those who report sexual recency within the previous four weeks. This approach, long adopted by The Demographic and Health Surveys Program (DHS), has recently been adopted by groups such as FP2030 and Tr…
Is the Decision Not to Use Contraception an Indicator of Reproductive Agency
Women's engagement in the decision to use contraception, an indicator captured in the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), is frequently used to assess women's reproductive agency. In 2014, DHS added a corollary question to the women's questionnaire on decision‐making not to use contraception. Study authors hypothesize that women's engagement in decision‐making not to use contraception is also indicative of reproductive agency. Analyzing DHS mic…
Informed Choice and Female Sterilization in South Asia and Latin America
Globally, female sterilization is one of the most popular contraceptive methods despite concerns about quality of care for women who report being sterilized. In this study, informed choice among sterilized women was quantified using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 2000 to 2012 for countries in South Asia and Latin America. Three responses measured informed choice and knowledge about whether women were informed by a health worker or …
Widowhood and Depression in a Cross-National Perspective
Our research shows the complex global relationship between widowhood and depression. Studies that do not compare depression trajectories over time may make incorrect inferences about the persistence of depression by gender and country. Interventions should target different components of depression: mood-related symptoms for men and somatic-related symptoms for women for most effective recovery
Household sanitation facilities and women’s risk of non-partner sexual violence in India
Our findings provide empirical evidence that lacking household sanitation is associated with higher risk of NPSV
Domestic Violence and Abortion Among Rural Women in Four Indian States
The prevalence of domestic violence and abortion in India is high, yet little is known about the relationship between these experiences. Data from two linked data sets, India's 1998-1999 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2) and a follow-up survey in 2002-2003, were analyzed. The analysis examines how the experience of physical violence affects the subsequent uptake of abortion, and how the experience of abortion affects subsequent experience of…
