Midline qualitative evaluation of an integrated health, livelihood, agriculture, and conservation program
Need for Standardized Measure of Modern Method Availability
The concept of contraceptive method choice is complex and difficult to measure, usually requiring multiple metrics that represent the service environment, access, and acceptability. One of the most used measures for the family planning service delivery environment is method availability, or specifically, the contraceptive options that are available to clients at any given family planning service delivery point. Despite the importance of the measu…
Understanding patterns of temporary method use among urban women from Uttar Pradesh, India
The calendar may not be well-suited to measure coital-dependent contraceptive use (e.g., condoms and traditional methods), as "continuous" monthly use may be overstated. A coital episode-specific data collection tool may produce more accurate records of contraceptive use in such contexts. Research findings also lead to useful programmatic recommendations for addressing unmet need and unintended pregnancies in urban Uttar Pradesh and beyond
What Differentiates Method Stoppers from Switchers? Contraceptive Discontinuation and Switching Among Honduran Women
CONTEXT: Contraceptive discontinuation contributes to unplanned pregnancy and unwanted births, as well as increased maternal, neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. Information on differences between women who stop using contraceptives and those who switch to another method would be useful for programs aimed at preventing unplanned pregnancies and their consequences. METHODS: Data come from two rounds of interviews with women aged 15-44 (80…
Contraceptive Discontinuation among Honduran Women Who Use Reversible Methods
A panel study examining the effects of women's individual characteristics, side effects experienced, and service quality on their contraceptive discontinuation was undertaken in four urban areas of Honduras. Data were collected from October 2006 to December 2007. The baseline sample consisted of 800 women aged 15–44 who were new or continuing users of an injectable contraceptive, the IUD, or an oral contraceptive. A total of 671 women (84 percent…
Indonesian Couples' Pregnancy Ambivalence and Contraceptive Use
CONTEXT: Most studies on pregnancy ambivalence are based on data from women and depend on the womens perceptions to measure their partners pregnancy intentions. Because these perceptions may not be accurate data collected directly from men are needed to understand the role of couple dynamics in fertility behavior. METHOD: Matched couple data from the 2002-2003 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey were used to examine contraceptive use fertilit…
Experience With Side Effects Among Users of Injectables, the IUD, and Oral Contraceptive Pills in Four Urban Areas of Honduras
Contraceptive side effects are often the most commonly reported reason for method discontinuation, particularly of modern methods. We use data from eight focus groups and 800 exit interviews to examine women's experiences with contraceptive side effects in four urban areas of Honduras. Ease of treatment and differences in motivation to avoid pregnancy are suggested explanations for why side effects cause some women to continue and others to disco…
Association between contraceptive discontinuation and pregnancy intentions in Guatemala
There is a need to increase contraceptive continuation. Any program should include an increased effort to reduce contraceptive failure and better address the side effects and the health concerns that women have that can lead to discontinuation. Non-users who want to delay or limit births should also be identified and targeted for outreach in order to reduce unintended pregnancies
Validating the self-reported fertility status of rural Malawian women
This study uses data from a population-based survey to examine the fertility schedules of 704 women in a rural district of Malawi. The main objective is to assess self-reported fecundity status as a measure of fertility impairment. Life tables are used to examine the timing and tempo of births for women reporting difficulty getting pregnant as compared to women with no reported fecundity difficulties. Results of the analysis indicate that women w…
Imbalances in the health labour force
Accurate knowledge of the characteristics of the health labour force that can affect health care production is of critical importance to health planners and policymakers. This study uses health facility survey data to examine characteristics of the primary health care labour force in Nicaragua, Tanzania and Bangladesh. The characteristics examined are those that are likely to affect service provision, including urban/rural distribution, demograph…
Factors Associated with HIV/Aids Knowledge and Risk Perception in Rural Malawi
Social and Proximate Determinants of Sexual Activity in Rural Nigeria
This study analyses the social, physiological and motivational determinants of sexual activity for 644 married women in rural areas of Osun State, Nigeria. The data come from the Fertility Awareness and Pregnancy Avoidance study conducted in 1993–94. Sexual activity is measured by three continuous variables: weekly frequency of (1) total sexual activity, (2) coital-only sex and (3) both coital/non-coital sex. Analyses of variance were performed t…
