Background. It is estimated that more than 142 million married women in developing countries have an unmet need for family planning. This study is aimed at identifying factors associated with the unmet need of family planning among married women of reproductive age in Toke Kutaye district, Ethiopia in 2019. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Toke Kutaye district from March 1–30, 2019. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 494 reproductive-age women who were married during data collection. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with the unmet need of family planning at 95% CI with a p value of ≤ 0.05. Result. The prevalence of unmet need for family planning in the Toke Kutaye district was 23.1% [95% CI (19.2-26.7)], with 15.2% for spacing and 7.9% for limiting. Women’s education [AOR, 3.64, 95% CI: 1.43-9.25], number of living children [AOR, 2.63, 95% CI: 1.37-5.05], husband disapproval of family planning [AOR, 3.68, 95% CI: 2.20-6.16], and discussion with healthcare providers on family planning [AOR, 0.20, 95% CI: 0.13-0.37] were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. Conclusion. The prevalence of unmet need for family planning was high. Therefore, program managers, partners, and health workers should work to address the gaps in maternal education, the number of living children, partner disapproval of family planning, and discussion on family planning issues through enhancing female education, awareness on family planning, and male involvement in family planning services.

Follow Up Care

Objectives. Family planning (FP) clinics are important access points for cervical cancer screening and referrals for follow-up care for abnormal Papanicolaou (Pap) smears for a substantial number of U.S. women. Because little is known about referral and facilitation practices in these clinics or client action based on referrals, we sought to determine FP provider referral and facilitation practices when seeing FP clients with abnormal Pap smear results, and FP client follow-up for abnormal Pap smears due to FP provider referrals. Methods. We conducted a mail survey of Medicaid-enrolled FP providers in Arkansas and Alabama, and conducted a telephone survey with a sample of FP clients of those providers responding to the provider survey. Results. Major provider factors associated with referral included rural location, health department and clinic institutional setting, large Title X practice/clinic size, and high FP clinic focus. Major factors associated with facilitation included rural location, non-physician specialty, health department and clinic institutional setting, and small Title X clinic size. Of women reporting abnormal results, 62.4% reported follow-up care. Of those who received follow-up care, 40.0% received some care and a referral from their FP provider. A major factor associated with clients seeking follow-up care was being told by their FP provider where to go for follow-up care. Age was a major factor associated with clients actually obtaining follow-up care. Conclusions. Where follow-up care is not available at the FP site, referrals are critical and are a major factor associated with whether women seek care for the condition. Interventions to increase follow-up rates should focus on provider and system features, rather than clients.

Abstract Background A remarkable decline in fertility rates has been observed in many countries, with a primary determinant being an increase in the use of contraceptives. However, the birth rate in Pakistan is still higher compared to the other countries of the region. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of demand- and supply-side factors associated with the use of contraceptive measures in Pakistan. Methods Secondary data analysis of four data series of the Pakistan Demographic and Health Surveys (PDHS 1990–1991, 2006–2007, 2012–2013 and 2017–2018) were used. The data includes ever-married women aged 15–49 years who had given birth in the previous five years and participated in the family planning module of the PDHS. A total of 25,318 women were included in the analysis. Data were analysed by investigating the associations between independent variables (demand- and supply-side factors) and the use of contraceptive measures through unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and adjusted OR (AOR). Results The results among demand-side factors indicated that in 2012–2013, women without media exposure were less likely to use contraceptives and the trend remains almost constant for 2017–2018 (AOR = 0.664, 95% CI 0.562–0.784) in 2012–2013 and (AOR = 0.654, 95% CI 0.483–0.885) in 2017–2018. However, they still show a lower likelihood of using contraceptives without media exposure. The results among supply-side factors indicated that absence of transport (2012–2013) and limited visits by family planning workers over the previous 12 months (2006–2007, 2012–2013 and 2017–2018) remained significant factors for not using contraceptive methods. Conclusions The results of the study indicate that certain demand- and supply-side factors are associated with the use of contraceptive measures in Pakistan. It highlights the need for the provision of family planning resources and further structural factors, particularly in remote areas.

ABSTRACT Across Michigan the share of births covered by Medicaid varies widely, from a low of 15% in Menominee County to a high of 71% in Roscommon County in 2009 (Michigan League for Public Policy n.d.). This paper uses data on women who delivered a live infant in Michigan between 2009 and 2011 from Michigan's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) matched to county level socioeconomic information to identify factors associated with the likelihood Medicaid is used to cover the medical costs of giving birth. The results suggest that strategies to reduce Medicaid births without reducing health care available to low-income women include stimulating economic growth and expanding access to family planning resources. This analysis does not find evidence that pro-marriage policies would reduce Medicaid births.

Abstract BackgroundIn Tanzania, 27.1% of all women of reproductive age are currently using modern contraception, and 16.8% have an unmet need for family planning. We therefore examined factors associated with family planning uptake after giving birth in two regions of Tanzania.MethodsSub-analysis of a cross-sectional household survey conducted in April 2016 in Mara and Kagera regions in Tanzania. A total of 1184 women aged 15-49 years, who had given birth less than two years prior to the survey were included. Logistic regression mixed effect modelling was used to examine factors associated with family planning uptake. Univariate analysis was used to present crude effects of covariates, followed by stepwise forward selection to build a multiple logistic regression model. A p-value ≥ 0.20 was applied as the criterion to retain a variable into the model.ResultsAmong 1184 women within two years after giving birth, 393 (33.2%) used family planning methods. After adjusting for (1) age, (2) level of education, (3) living in union, (4) being accompanied to ANC by a partner and (5) being able to mention at least one method, factors independently associated with family planning uptake included: (1) having discussed family planning with the partner (aOR 2.90; 95% CI 1.88-4.49), (2) having been counselled on family planning during ANC (aOR 2.15; 95% CI 1.48-3.13), (3) having discussed family planning with a community health worker (aOR 3.32; 95% CI 1.91-5.77), (4) having discussed family planning with a facility health care worker (aOR 1.79; 95% CI 1.22-2.62), (5) having primary or higher educational level (aOR 1.66; 95% CI 1.01-2.273) and (6) being in union (aOR 1.86; 95% CI 1.02-3.42).ConclusionSupportive constitutes including educational interaction with facility and community health workers, as well as having a supportive partner are facilitators to increased uptake of family planning among women in Tanzania
