'It's a secret in my life': frontstage and backstage experiences of women undergoing induced abortions in a rural community of Pakistan.

Department of Sociology, Faculty of Political & Social Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Abortion is taboo in Pakistani society, and it is stigmatised throughout the country, regardless of legal permission. Despite the burdens imposed by social norms of pronatalism and motherhood, women do exercise agency to have abortions. This study explores the experiences of women who have had induced abortions and maintained their social status within the community.

Introduction: Despite the social and political importance of abortion, little quantitative research has been done on the individual circumstances of women who have had abortions in Germany. This article takes an empirical and descriptive look at the individual, economic, and partnership conditions under which such decisions are made.
Methods: Data from the first 13 waves (2008-2021) of the German Family Panel (pairfam) were analyzed.
"We just need to create as many avenues for access as we possibly can": Clinician and administrator attitudes toward telehealth medication abortion in the U.S. South.

Department of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, United States.
Objectives: There is currently a gap in literature on the perspectives of sexual and reproductive health providers in the South toward telehealth abortion services. This research seeks to explore these perspectives to understand provider attitudes toward importance and priority of telehealth abortion to contribute to the development of a richer understanding of this in the South.
Study Design: This study conducts a secondary analysis of data from the Provider Readiness for Virtual Implementation and Delivery of Medication Abortion Services (PROVIDA) study.

Abortion has been legally permitted in England and Wales for over fifty years, yet this health service continues to be stigmatised within the health system. Stigma is a dominant focus of abortion research, but a structural stigma framework is rarely used to understand how abortion stigma is produced at a macro-level. This study explored how structural abortion stigma is produced and experienced in the health systems of England and Wales, and its influence on person-centred care, including choice of abortion methods.

Pregnancy termination is still a sensitive and continuing public health issue due to several political, economic, religious, and social concerns. This study assesses the applications of machine learning models in the prediction of pregnancy termination using data from eleven national datasets in East Africa. Nine machine learning models, namely: Random Forests (RF), Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), AdaBoost, CatBoost, K-nearest neighbor, and feedforward neural network models were used to predict pregnancy termination, with six evaluation criteria utilized to compare their performance.
