From theories of contraceptive use to human rights principles: implications for indicators on the supply and demand side.

In this commentary, we examine the evolution of theories and metrics regarding contraception. We contend that while human rights principles are now widely integrated into the "supply-side factors" of contraceptive provision, particularly through the concept of quality of care and its metrics, their role in relation to "demand-side factors" remains ambiguous. We propose that human rights represent one of several normative frameworks to which both users and non-users may adhere when shaping their fertility preferences and decisions regarding contraception.

Searching for Needles in a Haystack: Exploring Alternative Operational Approaches to Classify the Safety of Induced Abortions Using Respondent-Driven Sampling Data From Two Sub-Saharan African Settings.

This study aims to describe the circumstances under which women obtained abortions in two sites, explore more nuanced approaches to classify abortion safety and examine the relationship between safety and self-reported health outcomes. We analyze data on the most recent abortion or only abortion reported by 551 women in Nairobi slums and 479 women in rural Kaya ages 15-49 years within the three years preceding the study, recruited via respondent-driven sampling. Using the most liberal safety classification, there were very few safe abortions (8 percent in Nairobi and 5 percent in Burkina Faso).

"I always know she cannot betray me." Disclosure of abortion and methods of abortion used in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya.

Despite abortion being stigmatized and legally restricted in Kenya, women still disclose their abortions within their network. Evidence has shown how stigma can influence and regulate individual abortion disclosure decisions and behaviors. This paper seeks to understand why and how women make the decisions to disclose their abortion and the associated methods used.

Psychosocial dimensions of access and their association with contraceptive use and intention to use.

Background: Several studies suggest that psychosocial accessibility appears to be the key remaining hurdle to contraceptive use when issues of geographic and financial accessibility have been resolved. To date, the literature has considered various dimensions of psychosocial accessibility, which are not well measured by the two main sources of contraceptive data (DHS and PMA2020). In a previous paper, we have designed a framework that outlines four subdimensions of cognitive and psychosocial access and their theoretical relationship to contraceptive use and intention to use.
