Assessing the impact of Covid-19 on access to family planning and HIV services among women in Lilongwe, Malawi
Following its declaration as a pandemic, COVID-19 spread extensively, affecting millions globally. Concerns emerged that it could have a detrimental impact on sexual and reproductive health services. Specifically, these worries centred on the potential disruption of family planning and HIV-related care. We conducted a mixed methods study to understand the impact of the pandemic and its associated measures on access to FP and HIV services among wo…
Models of Birth Doula Access in Hospital Settings
Introduction: Continuous doula support during labor and delivery in the hospital setting is associated with improved maternal and newborn outcomes, such as reduced labor duration and higher infant Apgar scores. ACURE4Moms, a 4-arm cluster randomized controlled trial of 39 prenatal clinic groups across North Carolina, is evaluating whether community-based doula support can reduce low birthweight. This short report outlines hospital doula policy in…
Contraceptive method continuation among a prospective cohort study of Malawian women on antiretroviral treatment initiating the Levonorgestrel Implant or the Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Injectab…
Limited prospective data exist for long-term hormonal contraceptive continuation rates among women living with HIV. We conducted a prospective cohort study of women living with HIV in Lilongwe, Malawi from 2017 to 2021 and evaluated their contraceptive method continuation and ART regimens. Participants initiating either depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) injection or levonorgestrel (LNG) implant were followed every 24 weeks for up to 192 we…
Characteristics of Pregnancy-related Health Events Across Care Settings Nationwide in PCORnet®
The maternal mortality rate in the United States is higher than peer countries throughout the world. There is a critical need to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to address factors that contribute to maternal mortality and morbidity (MMM). Legislation passed by the US Congress in 2019 reauthorized funding for the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and identified maternal morbidity and mortality as a rese…
Acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of integrating HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening into voluntary family planning services in Malawi
Despite being preventable, the cervical cancer burden remains high in Malawi and other low-income countries. The World Health Organization recommends cervical cancer screening (CCS) using human papillomavirus (HPV) testing. The coverage of HPV-based CCS is low but may increase with self-sampling of vaginal fluid. We assessed the acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of two models for integrating HPV self-sampling for CCS into family plan…
Exploring perceived barriers and facilitators to using mobile phone technology for delivering HPV test results in malawi
While mobile phone communication has the potential to enhance HPV result delivery, its success relies on overcoming perceived barriers such as low literacy, privacy concerns, inadequate resources, and the need for a supportive implementation environment
Client perspectives and satisfaction with integrating facility and community-based HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening with family planning
Our findings highlight that women were satisfied with HPV self-sampling, valuing its convenience, privacy, and cost-effectiveness, which enhanced their willingness to undergo CCS. These findings suggest that integrating CCS self-sampling into FP services could potentially improve CCS uptake in Malawi
Contraceptive Continuation and Experiences Obtaining Implant and IUD Removal Among Women Randomized to Use Injectable Contraception, Levonorgestrel Implant, and Copper IUD in South Africa and Zambia
Few longitudinal studies have measured contraceptive continuation past one year in sub‐Saharan Africa. We surveyed 674 women who had been randomized to receive the three‐month intramuscular contraceptive injectable (DMPA‐IM), levonorgestrel (LNG) implant, or copper intrauterine device (IUD) during the Evidence for Contraceptive Options and HIV Outcomes (ECHO) trial in South Africa and Zambia and were subsequently followed for two additional years…
Women’s perspectives on relationship dynamics with their partners and their role in HIV acquisition, HIV disclosure, hormonal contraceptive uptake, and condom use
Background : Limited information exists about relationship dynamics and their role in HIV acquisition, HIV disclosure, hormonal contraceptive uptake, and condom use among women in Malawi. Methods : Ninety-seven women aged 18-45 years were randomly assigned to initiate the depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable or levonorgestrel implant from May 2014 to April 2015 in Lilongwe, Malawi. Women were recruited after randomisation to participate i…
Reproductive intentions and family planning practices of pregnant HIV-infected Malawian women on antiretroviral therapy
The objective of this study was to describe the pregnancy intentions of pregnant HIV-infected Malawian women on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 6 months prior to the current pregnancy, and to assess whether time on ART was associated with pregnancy intention. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of HIV-infected Malawian women receiving antenatal care at a government hospital with a survey assessing ART history, reproductive history, …
Effect of HIV status on fertility desire and knowledge of long-acting reversible contraception of postpartum Malawian women
The objectives of this study were to describe the most recent pregnancy intentions and family planning preferences of HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected postpartum Malawian women, and to assess whether HIV status is associated with fertility desire and knowledge of intrauterine contraception (IUC) and the subdermal contraceptive implant. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the baseline characteristics of Malawian women enrolled in a prospecti…
Barriers to Receiving Long-acting Reversible Contraception in the Postpartum Period
Malaysian English
This paper makes an instrumental analysis of English vowel monophthongs produced by 47 female Malaysian speakers. The focus is on the distribution of Malaysian English vowels in the vowel space, and the extent to which there is phonetic contrast between traditionally paired vowels. The results indicate that, like neighbouring varieties of English, Malaysian English vowels occupy a smaller vowel space than those of British English. The lack of con…
