University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health, Berkeley, California, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A study on women's sexual and reproductive health in Armenia reveals limited research despite political and cultural changes, focusing on family planning progress and barriers.
- The mixed-methods approach included surveys and interviews, showing low modern contraceptive use and scarce sexual education, often sought independently.
- Key findings indicate 72% of women see safe abortions as important, but only 42% would consider one; a recommendation is for government-funded, culturally sensitive sexual education programs to improve awareness and access.

UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, 3333 California Street, UCSF Box 0744, San Francisco, CA 94143-0744, USA.
Background: Unprotected intercourse is common, especially among teens and young women. Access to intrauterine device (IUD) as emergency contraception (EC) can help interested patients more effectively prevent unintended pregnancy and can also offer ongoing contraception. This study evaluated young women's awareness of IUD as EC and interest in case of need.

Recently unintended pregnancies have been described as "a new kind of mid-life crisis." Given the high prevalence of unwanted or mistimed pregnancy in the US, we examined the sexual and reproductive health patterns of sexually active midlife women. An examination of the prevalence of unintended pregnancy among midlife women revealed a gap in data indicating unmet sexual and reproductive health needs of midlife women.

Interest in using intrauterine contraception when the option of self-removal is provided.
Contraception
March 2012
UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, Oakland, CA 94612, USA.
Background: The need to ask a clinician to remove an intrauterine contraceptive (IUC) may deter some women from trying the method. There is little risk to a woman who attempts to remove her own IUC.
Study Design: In 2010, 602 women seeking abortion completed a computerized survey in the waiting rooms of six US abortion clinics.

UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, San Francisco, California 94612, USA.
Objective: To estimate the number of unintended pregnancies averted through the provision of family planning services to low income women in Family PACT, California's Medicaid waiver program.
Study Design: We use a Markov model to estimate the number of pregnancies in the absence of Family PACT based on the contraceptive method mix used before program enrollment, and pregnancies in the presence of the program, based on method dispensing claims.
Results: Nearly 1 million (998,084) women were provided with contraceptives in Family PACT in 2007.

As Catholic-owned hospitals merge with or take over other facilities, they impose restrictions on reproductive health services, including abortion and contraceptive services. Our interviews with US obstetrician-gynecologists working in Catholic-owned hospitals revealed that they are also restricted in managing miscarriages. Catholic-owned hospital ethics committees denied approval of uterine evacuation while fetal heart tones were still present, forcing physicians to delay care or transport miscarrying patients to non-Catholic-owned facilities.
