This study seeks to identify the socio-demographic, reproductive, partner-related, and facility-level characteristics associated with women's immediate and subsequent use of post-abortion contraception in Ghana.

The weighted data comprised 1,880 women who had ever had an abortion within the five years preceding the survey.

Family planning for urban slums in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review of interventions/service delivery models and their impact.

Background: Although evidence suggest that many slum dwellers in low- and middle-income countries have the most difficulty accessing family planning (FP) services, there are limited workable interventions/models for reaching slum communities with FP services. This review aimed to identify existing interventions and service delivery models for providing FP services in slums, and as well examine potential impact of such interventions and service delivery models in low- and middle-income settings.

Methods: We searched and retrieved relevant published studies on the topic from 2000 to 2020 from e-journals, health sources and six electronic databases (MEDLINE, Global Health, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science).
