Is reproductive agency associated with subjective well-being? A population-based cross-sectional study among men and women in four sub-Saharan African countries using the World Values Survey
We investigated the association between reproductive agency (RA) and subjective well-being (SWB) in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe using cross-sectional research design. We used nationally representative data from the World Values Survey from 2017 to 2021 (N = 4948). SWB used four items on perceived: (i) life satisfaction (range 1-10), overall life agency (range 1-10), health status (range 1-5), and happiness (range 1-4). RA used one item…
Armed conflict, insecurity, and attitudes toward women's and girls' reproductive autonomy in Nigeria
Our findings suggest that conflict and insecurity pose a threat to, but also facilitate opportunities for, women's and girls' reproductive autonomy. Contraception, abortion, early marriage, and postponement or childbearing may be perceived as risk-aversion strategies in response to mortality threats, livelihood losses, and conflict-driven sexual violence. Our findings foreshadow changes in fertility and relationship patterns in conflict-affected …

Incidence and outcomes of intrapartum-related neonatal encephalopathy in low-income and middle-income countries
Addressing the second ‘R’ in sexual and reproductive health and rights
Fear, blame and transparency
In recent decades, there has been growing attention to the overuse of caesarean section (CS) globally. In light of a high CS rate at a university hospital in Tanzania, we aimed to explore obstetric caregivers' rationales for their hospital's CS rate to identify factors that might cause CS overuse. After participant observations, we performed 22 semi-structured individual in-depth interviews and 2 focus group discussions with 5-6 caregivers in eac…
