Sexual violence and eclampsia: analysis of data from Demographic and Health Surveys from seven low- and middle-income countries.

Background: Scientific literature has provided clear evidence of the profound impact of sexual violence on women's health, such as somatic disorders and mental adverse outcomes.

This study aimed to assess the association of lifetime exposure to intimate partner sexual violence with eclampsia.

Development of an intervention delivered by mobile phone aimed at decreasing unintended pregnancy among young people in three lower middle income countries.

Background: Unintended pregnancies can result in poorer health outcomes for women, children and families. Young people in low and middle income countries are at particular risk of unintended pregnancies and could benefit from innovative contraceptive interventions. There is growing evidence that interventions delivered by mobile phone can be effective in improving a range of health behaviours.
