Reproductive health covers a number of elements that relates to sexual activities and reproductive processes. The clinical aspects of the reproductive health are indeed important. Yet, its social aspects are not less significant due to its complexity and difficulty for making a solution. Many social problems associated with reproductive health, such as unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion, STD/AIDS, side-effects of contraceptive uses, etc., have grown to be more crucial and call for serious attention from social scientists as well as policy makers. This paper specifically addresses this issue by elaborating the scope and complexity of reproductive health matters in an Indonesian context.

SummaryThis study used data from a community-based survey to examine women’s experiences of abortion in Nigeria. Fourteen per cent of respondents reported that they had ever tried to terminate a pregnancy, and 10% had obtained an abortion. The majority of women who sought an abortion did so early in the pregnancy. Forty-two per cent of women who obtained an abortion used the services of a non-professional provider, a quarter experienced complications and 9% sought treatment for complications from their abortions. Roughly half of the women who obtained an abortion used a method other than D&C or MVA. The abortion prevalence and conditions under which women sought abortions varied by women’s socio-demographic characteristics. Because abortion is illegal in Nigeria except to save the woman’s life, many women take significant risks to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Reducing the incidence of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion can significantly impact the reproductive health of women in Nigeria.

Preventive Strategies

Context: Street children may expose to high-risk behaviors such as unwanted pregnancy, abortion, and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Objectives: This study systematically reviewed and presented preventive strategies for promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) against unsafe abortion, STDs, and unwanted pregnancy in street children. Data Source: In this systematic review, we searched databases of ScienceDirect, Web of Science (ISI), PubMed, Scopus, Scientific Information Database (SID), and Google Scholar. Published articles between 1990 and 2020 were retrieved. Finally, 41 articles were used to compile the results of this study. Study Selection: A total of 1522 potentially relevant articles were identified; 275 articles were removed due to duplication and in abstract screening, and 766 articles did not meet the inclusion criteria or focus on the research question. Next, the full-text of 481 remained articles were screened. Studies in languages other than English or Persian, studies presented in conferences, and those with no information regarding the SRH among street children were removed. Finally, 41 studies were included in this systematic review. Data Extraction: Data were extracted from the articles according to the selection criteria by two independent reviewers. Results: Results of this study were categorized into 2 tables. Table 1 presents the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of SRH in street children were shown. Table 2 presents the preventive strategies regarding unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and STDs in the street children in four categories of 1) expansion program and promotion of educational services, 2) expansion program and promotion of educational services, 3) creating secure umbrella and social welfare, and 4) expansion program and promotion of social protection. Conclusions: Because of no information on street children regarding SRH, the government should consider adequate sexual education programs such as protected sexual intercourse and counseling on preventing STDs and unsafe abortion. It is essential to allocate affordable and accessible healthcare centers and facilities to provide services with no judgment on these children.

Abstract Background Abortion rates following unintended pregnancies is increasing in developing countries and unsafe abortion is commonly neglected reproductive health care problem. In Ethiopia, the number of women receiving treatment for complications from unsafe abortion nearly doubled from 2008-2014. Medication abortion is one of the safest abortion interventions. Adequate level of knowledge and attitude of reproductive age woman on medication abortion contributes to prevention of unsafe abortion. Objective Knowledge, attitude and practice of medication abortion and associated factors among reproductive age women in selected SRH clinics of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2018. Method A cross-sectional quantitative study design was conducted to collect data from study participants in sexual and reproductive health clinics of Addis Ababa from February–March 30, 2018. Study participants were selected through systematic random sampling. The data was coded and entered into Epi data version 4.2 and SPSS version 23 was used for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate analysis with 95% CI was employed. Variables found to have a P-value<0.2 in the binary logistic regression were entered into multivariate analysis and strength of association was declared at P value<0.05. Results The overall knowledge, attitude and practice of medication abortion were 72.1%, 44.2% and 33% respectively. Majority (36.5%) of the study participants would advise someone with unwanted pregnancy to undergo an abortion. Participants level of education (2ndry education((AOR=3.54, 95% CI[1.02, 12.26]), college/university(AOR=3.49, 95% CI[1.02, 11.92])), father education(up to 2ndry education(AOR=2.03, 95% CI [1.01, 4.10], college/university(AOR=2.80, 95% CI[1.42, 5.52]), income(AOR=2.19, 95% CI[1.02, 4.75]) and history of unwanted pregnancy(AOR=11.7, 95% CI(1.11, 12.46]) were some of the factors associated with medication abortion. Conclusion and recommendations this study provided that women were relatively knowledgeable but their attitude and practice on medication abortion is low. Low attitude and practice of medication abortion calls health care providers giving due attention on awareness creation and strengthened action to provide quality of maternal care for childbearing mothers towards medication abortion and unsafe abortion in particular.

The Impact

This article reports findings of research into the far-reaching plan to ‘modernise’ the Scottish economy, which emerged from the mid-late 1950s and was formally adopted by government in the early 1960s. It shows the growing awareness amongst policy-makers from the mid-1960s as to the profoundly deleterious effects the implementation of the plan was having on Glasgow. By 1971 these effects were understood to be substantial with likely severe consequences for the future. Nonetheless, there was no proportionate adjustment to the regional policy which was creating these understood ‘unwanted’ outcomes, even when such was proposed by the Secretary of State for Scotland. After presenting these findings, the paper offers some consideration as to their relevance to the task of accounting for Glasgow's ‘excess mortality’. It is suggested that regional policy can be seen to have contributed to the accumulation of ‘vulnerabilities’, particularly in Glasgow but also more widely in Scotland, during the 1960s and 1970s, and that the impact of the post-1979 UK government policy agenda on these vulnerabilities is likely to have been salient in the increase in ‘excess mortality’ evident in subsequent years.

History Analysis

Historians and social scientists often investigate the conditions that influence the occurrence of particular events. For instance, a researcher might be concerned with the causes of revolutionary action in some countries or the forces that unleash racial rioting in major cities. Or perhaps the researcher wishes to examine why industrial workers decide to strike or what prompts policy-makers to pass new legislation. In each of these examples, a qualitative shift occurs, from a circumstance without racial rioting in a particular city, for instance, to one with racial rioting. Event history analysis can aid researchers in uncovering the conditions that lead to such a shift.

<p>The present research was conducted to evaluate the quality of pharmaceutical promotional literature. Indications was mentioned in 88.2% promotional literature and less than half (40.0, 33.9 and 38.9%) of these contains side effects, precautions and contraindications respectively. Among the provided information 67.3%, 16.5%, 19.5% and 24.0% matched with the BDNF/BNF respectively. Scientific articles (73.3%) were cited most followed by commercial online sources (15.5%), data on file (4.2%), regulatory body approval data (2.9%), product monograph (2.7%) and textbook/reference book (1.6%). Only half (50.2%) of these cited references were retrievable and no ‘data on file’ could be retrieved. Though most (73.2%) of the promotional claims were true, 13.7, 5.9, 4.6 and 2.6% were identified as false, exaggerated, ambiguous and controversial respectively. This revelation about the quality of promotional literature might an eye opener for the policy makers. More importantly, this may bring alertness among the physicians during interpretation of pharmaceutical promotion literature.</p>
