Maternal Morbidity and Medically Assisted Reproduction Treatment Types.

Objective: To compare odds of maternal morbidity by mode of becoming pregnant and type of medically assisted reproduction treatments: fertility-enhancing drugs, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and assisted reproductive technology (ART) with autologous or donor oocytes.

Methods: Birth certificates were used to study maternal morbidity among the birthing population in Utah between 2009 and 2017 (N=469,919 deliveries); 22,543 pregnancies occurred through medically assisted reproduction (4.8%).

Sibling similarity in education and employment trajectories at ages 16-19 in the UK: The role of parental influence and individual experiences in early adolescence.

Young people's early education and employment trajectories (EET) hold profound implications for either perpetuating or alleviating social inequalities across the life course. Family background plays an instrumental role in shaping these trajectories, but we have little understanding of how similar or different these trajectories are between siblings and which early adolescent experiences are associated with individual trajectories. Using the UK Household Longitudinal Study, this paper explored how individual early adolescent experiences (ages 10-15) influence siblings' EET in late adolescence (ages 16-19).

Gender inequalities in the disruption of long-term life satisfaction trajectories during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of time use: evidence from a prospective cohort study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected women's mental health. However, most evidence has focused on mental illbeing outcomes, and there is little evidence on the mechanisms underlying this unequal impact.

Aims: To investigate gender differences in the long-term trajectories of life satisfaction, how these were affected during the pandemic and the role of time-use differences in explaining gender inequalities.

Partnership trajectories preceding medically assisted reproduction.

The number of people who undergo medically assisted reproduction (MAR) to conceive has increased considerably in recent decades. However, existing research into the demographics and the partnership histories of this growing subgroup is limited. Using unique data from Finnish population registers on nulliparous women born in Finland in 1971-77 ( = 21,129; ∼10 per cent of all women) who had undergone MAR treatment, we created longitudinal partnership histories from age 16 until first MAR treatment.

Make up or break up? Partnership transitions among young adults in England and Wales.

This study investigates partnership transitions of young adults born between 1974 and 1990 in England and Wales. These cohorts were affected by the expansion of higher education, increasing gender equality, and ideational changes, but faced increased economic precarity caused by the economic and housing crisis. Given these changes, it is likely that the partnership experiences of young adults including marriage, cohabitation, separation, and repartnering have also undergone considerable changes.

Medically assisted reproduction and mental health: a 24-year longitudinal analysis using Finnish register data.

Background: Medically assisted reproduction can negatively affect women's mental health, particularly when the treatments do not result in a live birth. Although the number of women relying on medically assisted reproduction to conceive has grown rapidly, our knowledge about the mental health effects before, during, and after treatment is limited.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the long-term association between medically assisted reproduction and mental health outcomes for women before, during, and after their treatments, and according to whether the treatment resulted in a live birth.

Medically Assisted Reproduction Treatment Types and Birth Outcomes: A Between-Family and Within-Family Analysis.

Objective: To compare risks of adverse birth outcomes among pregnancies conceived with and without medically assisted reproduction treatments.

Methods: Birth certificates were used to study birth outcomes of all neonates born in Utah from 2009 through 2017. Of the 469,919 deliveries, 52.
