the impact of centering pregnancy group prenatal care on postpartum Family Planning
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2014Co-Authors: Nathan Hale, Amy H Picklesimer, Deborah L Billings, Sarah CovingtonkolbAbstract:Objective The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of group prenatal care (GPNC) on postpartum Family-Planning utilization. Study Design A retrospective cohort of women continuously enrolled in Medicaid for 12 months (n = 3637) was used to examine differences in postpartum Family-Planning Service utilization among women participating in GPNC (n = 570) and those receiving individual prenatal care (IPNC; n = 3067). Propensity scoring methods were used to derive a matched cohort for additional analysis of selected outcomes. Results Utilization of postpartum Family-Planning Services was higher among women participating in GPNC than among women receiving IPNC at 4 points in time: 3 (7.72% vs 5.15%, P P P P Conclusion These findings demonstrate the potential that GPNC has to positively influence women's health outcomes after pregnancy and to improve the utilization rate of preventive health Services. Utilization of postpartum Family-Planning Services was highest among non-Hispanic black women, further supporting evidence of the impact of GPNC in reducing health disparities. However, despite continuous Medicaid enrollment, postpartum utilization of Family-Planning Services remained low among all women, regardless of the type of prenatal care they received.

demand for long acting contraceptive methods and associated factors among Family Planning Service users northwest ethiopia a health facility based cross sectional study
BMC Research Notes, 2015Co-Authors: Saleamlak Adbaru Yalew, Berihun Megabiaw Zeleke, Alemayehu Shimeka TeferraAbstract:Demand for long acting contraceptive methods is one of the key factors for total fertility rate and reproductive health issues. Increased demand for these methods can decline fertility rate through spacing and limiting Family size in turn improving maternal and Family health and socioeconomic development of a country. The aim of this study was to assess demand for long acting contraceptives and associated factors among Family Planning users in Debre-Tabor Town, Northwest Ethiopia. Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2013. Data was collected on 487 current Family Planning users through face to face interview using structured questionnaire. Study participants were selected by systematic sampling method. Data were entered in to Epi Info and analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Bi-variable and multi-variable regression analyses were done to identify factors associated with demand for long acting contraceptive methods. Odds ratio with 95% CI was used to assess the association between the independent variables and demand for long acting Family Planning methods. The study showed that, demand for long acting contraceptives was 17%. Only 9.2% of the women were using long acting contraceptive methods (met need). About 7.8% of women were using short acting methods while they actually want to use long acting methods (unmet need). Demand for LACMs was positively associated 3with being a daily labour (AOR = 3.87, 95% CI = [1.06, 14.20]), being a student (AOR = 2.64, 95% CI = [1.27, 5.47]), no future birth intensions (AOR = 2.17, 95% CI = [1.12, 4.23]), having five or more children (AOR = 1.67, 95% CI = [1.58, 4.83]), deciding together with husbands for using the methods (AOR = 2.73, 95% CI = [1.40, 5.32]) and often having discussion with husband (AOR = 3.89, 95% CI = [1.98, 7.65]). Clients treated poorly by the health care providers during taking the Services was negatively associated with demand for LACMs (AOR = 0.42, 95% CI = [0.24, 0.74]). Demand for long acting Family Planning methods was observed to be lower as compared to other studies. There were also significant proportion of women having unmet need for long acting methods – women using short acting method while actually wanting long acting methods. Therefore, it is necessary to create and increase awareness and advocacy on demand for long acting contraceptive methods considering women and their husbands. Moreover, emphasis should be given to Service provision of the methods.

the other side how does informed choice affect induced abortions among reproductive age immigrant women in china a cross sectional study
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016Co-Authors: Ying Zhou, Rui Zhao, Ying Han, Qi TongAbstract:This study attempted to explore how informed choice on contraceptive methods influenced induced abortions among reproductive-age immigrant women in China. A total of 3230 participants were recruited in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing. Information on informed choice was collected by questionnaires. The annual incidence rate (spells) of induced abortions was 0.46 (1500/3230) among the participants. The sequence from the highest score to the lowest was long-term, short-term and natural contraceptive methods (p < 0.0001). Significant differences of rates in induced abortions were found in region, occupation, length of the first immigration up to now (year), purpose for immigration, number of children, marital status, sex preference, contraceptive methods, deciders of contraceptive methods and side effects. In the zero-inflated negative binomial model, the joint impacts showed when a participant with one child employed condoms or Family Planning Service providers as the deciders of contraceptive methods introduced intrauterine devices, the occurrence of induced abortions was more likely to be reduced. Women who underwent side effects using pills were more likely to have had induced abortions.

Ethiopian Medical Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Anley Haile, Mesganaw FantahunAbstract:BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests a high unsatisfied demand for long acting and permanent contraceptive methods in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is limited knowledge on demand for long acting and permanent contraceptive methods and associated factors in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess demand for long acting and permanent contraceptive methods and associated factors among women of age group 18-49 years in Batu town, East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia. METHODOLOGY: A facility based cross-sectional survey was conducted in six Service delivery points from March to April 2009 on 398 women of age 18-49 years old. RESULTS: Thirteen (3%) were using long acting and permanent contraceptive methods and 89 (22.4%) wanted no more child in the future making the total demand of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods 24.4%. Older age group, multiparty, that the provider asked about reproductive intention, and the provider explained side effects of method selected were significantly associated with using LA and MPs (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: There is high total demand and several socio demographic and Family Planning Service quality related factors were associated with demand for long acting and permanent contraceptive methods indicating that multi-dimensional measures are needed to improve the use of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods.

comparative study of the characteristics of Family Planning Service users and non users in northwest ethiopia
African Journal of Reproductive Health, 2006Co-Authors: Mesganaw FantahunAbstract:Three hundred and forty-four (49.6%) Family Planning users and 350 (50.4%) non-Family Planning users were included in a study to assess the factors that are associated with utilisation of Family Planning Services at different levels of health institutions in northwest Ethiopia. Desire for (more) children was the most common reason (51.4%) for not using Family Planning Services, followed by inadequate knowledge about Family Planning Services (14.6%). A higher proportion of the non-users were illiterate, of lower parity, and had their last child under one year of age (P<0.05). In logistics regression analysis Family Planning was significantly lower in the illiterate. Positive husband's attitude had the strongest association (OR 9.3, 95% CI 4.6, 18.7) with Family Planning. In addition to programs that create demand for smaller well-spaced children, IEC and Family Planning Services should target men and strong emphasis should be given to use of Family Planning methods in as early period after birth as possible.
