Share of current unmet need for modern contraceptive methods attributed to past users of these methods in India
Despite persistent efforts, unmet need for contraceptives in India has declined only slightly from 14% to 13% between 2005–06 and 2015–16. Many women using a family planning method discontinue it without switching to another method and continue to have unmet need. This study quantified the share of current unmet need for modern contraceptive methods attributed to past users of these methods in India. Data were drawn from two rounds of the Nationa…
Factors Associated with Disposable Menstrual Absorbent Use Among Young Women in India
CONTEXT: Hygienic use of absorbent products during menstruation is a challenge for young women in India, especially among the underprivileged, who lack knowledge and access to resources. Reuse of menstrual absorbents can be unhygienic and result in adverse health and other outcomes. METHODS: Data from the 2015-2016 National Family Health Survey-4 for 233,606 menstruating women aged 15-24 were used to examine levels and correlates of exclusive use…
Association between modern contraceptive use and child mortality in India
This study provides evidence of dual benefit of contraceptive use. Such information is important for promoting evidence-based advocacy to expand use of family planning services. This will help the country to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 which calls for end of preventable deaths during childhood
Self-Reported Morbidity and Burden of Disease in Uttar Pradesh, India
Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state with a population of 200 million. Any change in its fertility and mortality is bound to bring change at the national level. This study analysed the burden of disease in the state by calculating the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for infectious and non-communicable diseases. Data were from two rounds (52 nd and 60 th ) of the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) survey conducted in 1995–96 a…
Do antenatal care interventions improve neonatal survival in India
Although antenatal care (ANC) interventions have been in place for a long time, there is hardly any systematic evidence on the association between ANC interventions and neonatal mortality in India. The present study attempts to investigate the association between ANC interventions and neonatal mortality in India using data from the District Level Household Survey conducted in India during 2007-8. The ANC interventions included in the analysis are…
Rates of Ear Disease in Children Visiting a Mobile Community Ear Clinic in New Zealand—Two-Year Study of Over 2,000 Children
Aims: To describe rates of middle ear disease in children attending a nurse-led mobile community ear clinic over a 2-year period in Wellington, New Zealand. Methods: Analysis of records of ear examination carried out over a 2-year period to identify rates of middle ear disease in children aged 0 to 18 years. All data were collected at the time of consultation. Otitis media with effusion (OME) being a common middle ear disease in children was inve…
Determinants of Adult Mortality in India
This study attempts to evaluate the factors affecting adult mortality with special emphasis on the lifestyle factors using the 1998–1999 National Family Health Survey (NFHS). The sample size, N, in this analysis is 330,267. It includes those aged 15–59 of which 2.6 per cent died during adulthood. In the Poisson regression model, the independent variables used are age, sex, place of residence, lifestyle factors of other members of the family, stan…
