Can payment by results ensure equitable access to contraceptive services? a qualitative case study
The use of PbR KPIs incentivised several strategies to reach adolescents and people living in poverty. However, the use of global indicators was too simplistic, resulting in several methodological issues
Introduction to the Special Issue
In August of 2021, the Editorial Committee of Studies in Family Planning put out a call for abstracts for a special issue focused on indicators in sexual and reproductive health and rights.We did so in response to our perception of a growing demand in the field not only for advances in measurement, with fresh thinking on ways to measure progress beyond existing indicators, many of which have been critiqued as more program-centered than personcent…
Exploring the Demand‐Side Factors Associated with the Use of Implants in Kenya
We explore the demand‐side factors associated with the use of implants in Kenya given the notable rapid increase in uptake of the method in the country. Data are from a longitudinal study conducted among married or cohabiting women aged 15–39 years at the time of recruitment in one rural (2,424 women) and one urban (2,812 women) site. Analysis entails descriptive statistics and estimation of multivariate logistic regression models. The results sh…
Factors influencing satisfaction with oral contraceptive pills and injectables among past users in Kenya
This study examines factors associated with satisfaction with oral pills and injectables among past users in Kenya based on a baseline survey for the 2-year prospective longitudinal study Improving Measurement of Unintended Pregnancy and Unmet Need for Family Planning conducted in 2016. Married women aged 15–39 years were interviewed using a structured questionnaire that captured information on reproduction, contraceptive knowledge and beliefs an…
Women’s Education and Utilization of Maternal Health Services in Africa
There is an abundant literature on the relationship between women’s education and maternal and child outcomes, including antenatal and postnatal care, onset of antenatal care and skilled birth attendance. However, few studies have adopted the ‘equity’ lens, despite increasing evidence that inequities between rich and poor are increasing although maternal and child mortality is declining. This study examined the differential effects of women’s edu…
Method‐Specific Attributes that Influence Choice of Future Contraception Among Married Women in Nairobi's Informal Settlements
Despite an extensive evidence base on contraceptive method choice, it remains uncertain which factors are most influential in predisposing women toward certain methods and against others. This paper addresses this gap in knowledge by making use of rarely‐measured perceptions about specific methods, perceived social network experience of methods, and women's own past experiences using specific methods. We draw on baseline data from the project, “ …
Mothers' Education and Girls' Achievement in Kibera
Research evidence has established the importance of mothers' education and their children's educational achievement. However, little has been done to establish the association between mothers' education with girls' literacy and numeracy scores, while linking it with self-efficacy. Using baseline data collected in Kibera informal settlement in 2015 as part of the Adolescent Girls Initiative-Kenya (AGI-K), this article tests the mother-child educat…
Violence victimisation and aspirations–expectations disjunction among adolescent girls in urban Kenya
Violence victimization is a key threat to adolescents’ well-being in urban slums in sub-Saharan Africa. We examined the association between violence victimization and aspiration–expectations disjunction using cross-sectional data from 2360 girls aged 11–15 years in a slum settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. We conducted bivariate and multivariate analyses to assess the association between violence victimization and aspirations–expectations disjunction,…

Contraceptive Adoption, Discontinuation, and Switching among Postpartum Women in Nairobi's Urban Slums
Unmet need for contraception is highest within 12 months post‐delivery, according to research. Using longitudinal data from the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System, we assess the dynamics of contraceptive use during the postpartum period among women in Nairobi's slums. Results show that by 6 months postpartum, 83 percent of women had resumed sexual activity and 51 percent had resumed menses, yet only 49 percent had adopted a …
Do the Factors Associated With Female Hiv Infection Vary by Socioeconomic Status in Cameroon?
One of the most consistent findings in social epidemiology is an inverse relationship between indicators of SES and most types of illness. However, a growing body of research on HIV in sub-Saharan Africa suggests an intriguing reversal of this pattern, particularly with respect to HIV among women. In Cameroon, specifically, high-SES women have higher rates of HIV infection compared with low-SES women. Using data from the 2004 Cameroon DHS, this s…
Effect of HIV status on fertility intention and contraceptive use among women in nine sub-Saharan African countries
BACKGROUND: Expanding access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) means that HIV is no longer a death sentence. This change has implications for reproductive decisions and behaviors of HIV-infected individuals. DESIGN: Using multiple rounds of biomarker data from Demographic and Health Surveys (2004-2012) in nine sub-Saharan African countries, we compare patterns of associations between HIV status and fertility intention and between current use of mod…
Bringing Sexual and Reproductive Health in the Urban Contexts to the Forefront of the Development Agenda
Estimates suggest that over 90 % of population increase in the least developed countries over the next four decades will occur in urban areas. These increases will be driven both by natural population growth and rural-urban migration. Moreover, despite its status as the world's least urbanized region, the urban population in the sub-Saharan Africa region is projected to increase from under 40 % currently to over 60 % by 2050. Currently, approxima…
