  • Association between male absence and women’s reproductive autonomy in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessAlex Bawuah, Ruth O Ejiwale et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Reproductive decision-making within partnered relationships in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is often shaped by patriarchal gender norms, with male partners commonly exerting substantial influence over family planning and contraception. These dynamics may shift when male partners migrate and are not physically present in the household. This study investigates the association between male absence and women’s reproductive autonomy in SSA, using national…

  • Deaths of female sex workers and sexually exploited adolescent girls during the Covid-19 pandemic in Kenya, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

    Open AccessBrian Willis, Isabella Danel et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Deaths among sexually exploited adolescent girls (SEAG) and female sex workers (FSW) are under-researched and under-reported. Although excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic has been documented among vulnerable populations, specific data on SEAG and FSW remain scarce. This lack of reliable data limits the ability of sex worker organizations and public health programs to design effective interventions or respond to shifting risks. We applie…

    Open AccessAlex Bawuah, Deborah O Okeke-Obayemi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face heightened risks of adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Water insecurity may contribute to these vulnerabilities by creating social and environmental stressors that undermine reproductive health and rights, yet this relationship remains understudied. This study examined associations between water insecurity and reproductive health outcomes among AGYW in 29 SSA c…

  • Why are so many pregnancies still unintended in Ghana? A closer look at factors influencing reproductive autonomy

    Open AccessSamuel Salu, Doreen Selasie Tay et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Unintended pregnancy remains a major public health challenge globally, with particularly high prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ghana, despite improvements in reproductive health service delivery, unintended pregnancies persist. This study examined the prevalence and factors influencing unintended pregnancy among sexually active women in Ghana. The study used data from the 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey (GMHS), focusing on 1,453 sexually ac…

  • How maternal morbidities impact women’s quality of life during pregnancy and postpartum in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

    Maternal morbidities present a major burden to the health and well-being of childbearing women. However, their impacts on women’s functional health are not well understood. This work aims to describe how maternal morbidities affect women’s quality of life (QoL) in pregnancy and the postpartum period . This qualitative study involved 118 pregnant and 135 postpartum women at six study sites in Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, Pakistan, and India. Data were co…

  • Determinants of pressure to conceive among reproductive age women in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessAlemneh Tadesse Kassie, Alebachew Ferede Zegeye et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Globally, 40% of pregnancies are unplanned, with higher rates in Sub-Saharan Africa, often ending in abortion. Women face pressure from spouses/families to conceive, leading to unintended pregnancies and violations of reproductive rights, jeopardizing women’s autonomy and well-being. Respecting individual decisions is crucial during this pivotal life stage. The study conducted a secondary data analysis using information from the latest Demographi…

  • Health crisis within a crisis

    Open AccessGanizani Mwale, Mpundu Makasa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    In Zambia, approximately 5% of women and 8% of men aged 15–49 reported having a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) 12 months prior to the 2018 Zambia Demographic Health Survey. Notably, 62% of women and 73% of men who had an STI sought treatment at a clinic, signifying the importance attached to health services by STI treatment seekers. Regrettably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, entry points for accessing STI health services were closed as a pu…

  • The role of hormonal contraceptive use in mediating sociodemographic predictors of overweight/obesity among women of reproductive age in Ghana

    Open AccessShaibu Issifu, Lydia Sarponmaa Asante et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The global rise in overweight and obesity poses significant public health challenges, contributing to premature mortality and preventable disabilities. Moreover, efforts to increase reproductive autonomy through the promotion of modern contraceptive methods are underway, with persisting concerns regarding their potential influence on weight gain. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with overweight and obesity and to examine t…

  • Who pays more? Exploring cost disparities in medication abortion access across socio-demographic groups in Ghana

    Open AccessCaesar Agula, Yuliya Kulikova et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2025

    MA cost in Ghana is largely based on providers' discretion and at the facility's management level. Additionally, the cost differs by women's socio-demographic attributes. To reduce the disparities in MA costs, developing guidelines to address the health system challenges regarding MA provision and access is important. Educational programs on MA access, provision and legal framework could also reduce abortion-related stigma and cost variations

  • Urban Family Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessTrudy Harpham, Moses Tetui et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    The multi-sectoral nature of urban health is a particular challenge, which urban family planning in sub-Saharan Africa illustrates well. Rapid urbanisation, mainly due to natural population increase in cities rather than rural-urban migration, coincides with a large unmet urban need for contraception, especially in informal settlements. These two phenomena mean urban family planning merits more attention. To what extent are the family planning an…
