The Long‐Term Trends in Cohort Fertility
This study presents the first global dataset of fertility estimates and projections for cohorts of women born between 1935 and 2055. Leveraging the World Population Prospects 2024 revision, which provides single‐year single‐age fertility indicators for 1950–2100, we reconstructed cohort fertility profiles for all countries. These data offer a unique opportunity to analyze cohorts that have completed childbearing and those entering reproductive ag…
Determinants of an unintended pregnancy among women attending ante natal care at health facilities in Lemi Kura sub city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Unintended pregnancy is an unplanned or unwanted at conception. It carries significant social, emotional, and health consequences for women, families and communities. In Ethiopia, approximately one-third of married women report that their pregnancies are an unintended. Despite this burden, evidence on contributing factors remains limited, particularly in Lemi Kura sub city. This study, aimed to identify determinants of an unintended pregnancy amo…
A new look at contraceptive prevalence plateaus in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Fertility decline in sub-Saharan Africa has been slower than in other regions, with the periods of extremely slow transitions frequently described as stalled. Lack of investment in family planning programs has been proposed as a key contributing factor. However, while there is a large literature on fertility transition stalls, similar phenomena in contraceptive prevalence trends have received less attention. OBJECTIVE: We propose a pr…
Setting Health Targets Using Information from Probabilistic Projections
Broad and aspirational targets to meet health service needs are useful for advocacy, but setting measurable, time-defined targets for accelerated yet feasible progress is necessary for national monitoring and planning purposes. Information from probabilistic projections of health outcomes and service coverage can be used to set country-specific targets that reflect different starting points and rates of change. We show the utility of this approac…
Progress towards achieving child survival goals in Kenya after devolution
Subnational projections of under-5 mortality (U5M) have increasingly become an essential planning tool to support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda and strategies for improving child survival. To support child health policy, planning, and tracking child development goals in Kenya, we projected U5M at units of health decision making. County-specific annual U5M were estimated using a multivariable Bayesian space-time hierarchical model ba…
Comparative performance of multiple-list estimators of key population size
Estimates of the sizes of key populations (KPs) affected by HIV, including men who have sex with men, female sex workers and people who inject drugs, are required for targeting epidemic control efforts where they are most needed. Unfortunately, different estimators often produce discrepant results, and an objective basis for choice is lacking. This simulation study provides the first comparison of information-theoretic selection of loglinear mode…
Contraceptive use and fertility transitions
Continued rapid population growth in sub-Saharan Africa is driven predominantly by high fertility. Contraceptive use was a key determinant of past fertility transitions. An analysis of this relationship in sub-Saharan Africa can yield a better understandin
Bayesian population reconstruction of female populations for less developed and more developed countries
We show that Bayesian population reconstruction, a recent method for estimating past populations by age, works for data of widely varying quality. Bayesian reconstruction simultaneously estimates age-specific population counts, fertility rates, mortality rates, and net international migration flows from fragmentary data, while formally accounting for measurement error. As inputs, Bayesian reconstruction uses initial bias-reduced estimates of stan…
