Experiences of care-seeking behaviour for sexually transmitted infections among gay and bisexual men: A phenomenological study.

Gay and bisexual men (GBM) are stigmatized in the Ghanaian society and that negatively affect their care-seeking behaviour. We sought to understand the experiences of care-seeking behaviour (CSB) for STIs among gay and bisexual men in Sunyani, capital of Bono Region, Ghana. A respondent-driven sampling was used to collect data from 17 gay and bisexual men in Sunyani based on phenomenological qualitative approach.

Going through treatment: experiences of women who sought assisted reproductive technology treatment in five selected hospitals in Ghana.

Using a qualitative approach, this paper explores the accounts of 30 women who accessed assisted reproductive technology treatment in five fertility hospitals in Ghana. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect data on women's experiences of the procedure. Findings indicated that most of the women sought ART treatment to save their relationships from collapsing, with pressure and demands from friends and in-laws as key motivating factors.
