Measurement and conceptualization of male involvement in family planning: a bibliometric analysis of Africa-based studies.

Background: Male involvement in Family Planning (FP) is an exercise of men's sexual and reproductive health rights. However, the measurement of male involvement has been highly inconsistent and too discretional in FP studies. As a result, we used bibliometric tools to analyze the existing measures of male involvement in FP and recommend modifications for standard measures.

Perceived health facility-related barriers and post-abortion care-seeking intention among women of reproductive age in Osun state, Nigeria.

This study examined the influence of perceived health facility-related barriers (HFRB) on post-abortion care-seeking intention (PACSI) among women of reproductive ages in Osun state, Nigeria.
