Contraceptive Adoption and Changes in Empowerment in Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal

The positive association between more empowered women and higher rates of contraceptive use has been well‐established by cross‐sectional research. However, there remains a gap in understanding the longitudinal relationship between contraceptive adoption and changes to women's empowerment.

The Effect of Adolescent Pregnancy on Child Mortality in 46 Low- and Middle-Income Countries
INTRODUCTION: Adolescent pregnancy is a known health risk to mother and child. Statements and reports of health outcomes typically group mothers under 20 years old together.

Our model-based estimates highlight these inconsistencies, attempt to reconcile the direct survey estimates, and provide uncertainty intervals to enable…
