Abstract:

Ethnographic interviews with pregnant Mexican-American and Native-American adolescents and young adults from low-income households explored their knowledge about conception and contraception as well as their contraceptive and sexual behavior. The findings suggest that their unwanted pregnancies are not due to a lack of knowledge but rather are due to their heteronomous sexual behavior which results in infrequent contraceptive usage and thereby a risk of unwanted pregnancy.

Abstract:

This study systematically examines contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices among United States Midwestern college students. The goal is to provide data on the distribution and correlates of common or "folk" knowledge that can be used to promote positive attitudes, and safer practice of contraceptive use. Many factors may influence the distribution of contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. These include innate characteristics, culture, and gender stereotypes. Hence, this study concentrates on sex/gender differences in contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices. It wa

Abstract:

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective, convenient, reliable, inexpensive, and cost-effective form of reversible contraception. It rivals female sterilization, injectables, and implants with respect to effectiveness in pregnancy prevention. Once inserted, IUDs are nearly maintenance free; some IUDs can even be used for over a decade. In many settings however, the utilization of this form of contraception is poor and a number of barriers to usage exist. These barriers often relate to lack of knowledge and misperceptions among both potential users and healthcare providers. The IUD is

<p>Contraception is said to be one of the vital determinants of fertility (Bongaarts, 1978). African nations, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa have a history of high fertility levels and low contraceptive use. However, contraceptive methods have been used one way or another throughout human history, although, due to improvements, these methods have evolved over the years. In Namibia, there tend to be a huge gap between women&rsquo<br>s knowledge of methods of contraception and usage thereof.

Introuction: The sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region is making progress in its contraceptive policies that allow for the provision of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC).

Unintended pregnancies pose a significant threat to global public health with far-reaching consequences. There is a need to explore all the reasons for the low uptake of effective LARC methods.

LARCs are considered a safe form of contraception that is not reliant upon the user for efficacy (Strasser et al., 2016).

The availability of accessible, effective, and timely emergency contraception (EC) technologies is an important issue in women’s reproductive health. In Canada, three methods of EC are currently available: the levonorgestrel pill (LNg-EC), the Copper-T intrauterine device (IUD), and ulipristal acetate (UPA). This study explores the EC knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Ontario pharmacists through a mixed-methods study. The mixed-methods study includes a bilingual mailed survey with a representative sample of retail pharmacists and in-depth interviews with a subset of respondents. Results

Abstract:

Masters of Public Health - see Magister Public Health<br>Adolescents account for 20% of the world’s population, and the majority of them are inhabitants of developing countries. Increasing sexual activity amongst adolescents is a public health concern because it can lead to teenage pregnancy which in turn leads to an increase in relative poverty, unemployment, poorer educational achievements (for the adolescent) and poor health of unborn children. Contraceptive use gives females the ability to make informed decisions about their fertility as well as greatly reduce female morbidity and mor

Abstract:

Unintended pregnancies are a long-standing public health issue nationally, with percentages hovering around 50% for at least the last five years. Vermont is doing slightly better than the national average, but is faced with it's own challenges due to it's rural nature. Agencies and organizations, such as the World Health Organization, March of Dimes and the Vermont Department of Health have made decreasing unintended pregnancies one of their priorities to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes, as well as social and economic opportunities for families. Current evidence-based guidelines cal

Introdução: A contracepção de emergência, embora disponível há mais de 30 anos, ainda nos dias atuais encontra resistências de natureza religiosa, cultural e social em diferentes regiões do mundo. Estados como o Pará, segundo maior da Amazônia brasileira e da Região Norte do Brasil, com características continentais, têm, certamente na geografia, na diversidade populacional e no ecossistema, fatores que contribuem sobremaneira para a ocorrência de gestações precoces e indesejadas, assim como a prática de abortamento.

Abstract:

For every method, there's a story - the IUD that almost killed her, the male birth control that almost happened, the weight gained and the moods changed. Whether a narrative of personal experience or one heard through the grapevine, stories about contraception illuminate critical issues in reproductive health today. Using ethnographic data deeply colored by ongoing partisan rhetoric around reproductive rights and the body, I discuss the dynamics of power at play in patient experience, the performance of social complaint and institutional critique, and vernacular conceptualizations of health

Abstract:

This paper describes a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) quality improvement project that identifies provider’s knowledge, perceptions, and views surrounding the prescription of long- acting reversible contraception (LARC) to female adolescents, ages 15 to 19, for the purposes of reducing unintended adolescent pregnancy. LARCs are the most effective contraceptive methods, however, remain significantly underutilized in the United States (U.S.), and particularly among the adolescent population. This project aimed to identify facilitators and barriers to counseling and prescribing adolescents on

It takes two to tango! However, family planning programmes in most countries especially in Sub-Saharan Africa have focused almost solely on one - the female-invariably with little impact. The few attempts which have been made to involve males have concentrated on the adult male. It was felt the time had come to involve the adolescent males most of whom are already sexually active and after all are the husbands and fathers of tomorrow. Male high school students (N=240) out of a total of 2101 male students were randomly selected from all the six urban high schools in the Zwelitsha District of Ci
