Pathways to care and service preferences, and experiences of women who self-manage abortion through community pharmacies in two counties of Kenya
INTRODUCTION: This study examines women's pathways to medication abortion (MA) and post-MA contraception, including how they source information on the services, their choices and preferences regarding these services and their experiences obtaining the services from community pharmacies in two counties of Kenya. METHODS: Data are from the baseline of a mixed-methods prospective intervention study conducted in two counties of Kenya (Nakuru and Keri…
Women’s self-help group participation and discussion of reproductive coercion
Reproductive coercion (RC) and intimate partner violence (IPV) are prevalent in Kenya and undermine women’s reproductive agency; community-based women’s groups may offer an opportunity to address these issues. We quantitatively examined women’s participation in women-only self-help groups, described discussions of RC within these groups, and assessed differences based on prior experiences of RC and IPV among a clinic-based sample of Kenyan women …
Factors influencing community-facility linkage for case management of possible serious bacterial infections among young infants in Kenya
Despite evidence showing the feasibility and acceptability of implementing the World Health Organization’s guidelines on managing possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) in Kenya, the initial implementation revealed sub-optimal community-facility referrals and follow-up of PSBI cases. This study explores facilitators and barriers of community-facility linkages in implementing PSBI guidelines in Busia and Migori counties, Kenya. We used an exp…
Devolved health system capacity in the provision of care for sick newborns and young infants in four counties serving vulnerable populations in Kenya
Possible severe bacterial infections (PSBI) is one of the three leading causes of newborn and young infant mortality globally that can be prevented by timely diagnosis and treatment using suitable antibiotics. High impact interventions such as use of out-patient injectable gentamicin and dispersible Amoxicillin with community-based follow up have been shown to reduce mortality in clinical trials. The objective of this study was to assess the heal…

This Report presents results of an acceptability study of the PVR in Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal. Women seeking postpartum family planning services were offered various contraceptive options including the PVR. Of the 174 participating women, 110 (63 percent) used one ring and 94 (54 percent) completed the study by using two…
User charges in government health facilities in Kenya
In this paper we study demand effects of user charges in a district health care system using cross-sectional data from household and facility surveys. The effects are examined in public as well as in private health facilities. We also look briefly at the impact of fees on revenue and service quality in government facilities. During the period of cost-sharing in public clinics, attendance dropped by about 50%. This drop prompted the government to …
