Cervical cancer is a preventable disease, but in fact, women are often found at advanced disease because they do not undergo screening. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between socio-demographic factors, cost, knowledge, and attitude with women’s participation in VIA test. The design of this study was cross-sectional. The samples were taken from women who received counseling about cervical cancer during 2016 at districts Health Center by using proportional random sampling.  Overall respondents were 198 women. The data were processed and analyzed by using Chi-Square, eta correlation, phi correlation, and multiple logistic regression. Bivariable analysis showed that age (p-value <0.001), education (p-value <0.001), employment (p-value = 0.008), income (p-value = 0.036), marital status (p-value = 0.010), distance (p-value = 0.008), cost (p-value <0.001, knowledge (p-value <0.001), and attitude (p <0.001) were significantly related with women’s participation in VIA test. Multivariable analysis showed that marital status, knowledge and attitude were significantly related with women’s participation in VIA test.  Attitude was variable with the largest value of prevalence rate, it was 20,4 and p value<0,001. The conclusions that can be taken in this study includes socio-demographic factors were associated with women’s participation in VIA test, except parity; the cost has weak relationship with women's participation in VIA test; knowledge has fairly strong relationship with women's participation in VIA test; attitude has fairly strong relationship with women's participation in VIA test and attitude is the most dominant factor related with women's participation in VIA test

Low Coverage

The incidence of cervical cancer in Indonesia is quite high at 25.91%. Cervical cancer can be detected early with VIA test. VIA test is one of the first steps to detect abnormalities in the cervix. VIA test is an easy check, cheap, and can be done by the midwife. However, the coverage of VIA test in Indonesia is still low about 2.45% of the target coverage determined by the government that is 80%. The low coverage of VIA test screening in Indonesia is influenced by the low knowledge of women. Women's low knowledge will influence their participation in screening. This research uses cross-sectional method approach. The sample in this study is Women of Childbearing Age aged 15-49 years in the working area of Puskesmas Soreang. Sampling uses proportional stratified random sampling technique with a sample size of 76 respondents. Data analysis uses Fisher Exact Test. The results show that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude of WUS with p value = 0.000 (p > 0.005). Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitude of WUS on VIA test for early detection of cervical cancer.

Background: Delta state of Nigeria is a typical micro-world of multicultural values and religious beliefs as well as socioeconomic strata that could impact on the uptake of cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination. Yet, the demographics of women in conjunction with knowledge and perception of cervical cancer screening have not been surveyed. This study aimed to assess the demographics of civil service women servants in Delta State and their knowledge regarding cervical cancer.Methods: The study was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey of female civil servants in the states’ capital city of Asaba. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data on eight demographic factors (age, educational level, ethnicity, income level, marital status, number of children, religion and workplace); as well as information on knowledge of cervical. Percentage proportions of respondents were assessed for the eight demographic factors. Absolute frequencies of affirmative responses to the questions on knowledge were evaluation. Hypothesis was tested for statistical significance of the demographic variables.Results: Analysis of the respondents (N=285) show that virtually all participants have heard of cervical cancer and knows that sexual promiscuity is a risk of the health condition. Only less than 5% of them attribute healthcare workers as their source of knowledge. Except age and marital status, every demographic variable is significant (p<0.05).Conclusions: Demographics of women are significant in terms of potential factors that could influence the uptake of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening.

Abstract Objectives: Based on a multidimensional perspective, this study aimed to assess the heterogeneous health latent classes of older Chinese, and further examined the effects of health latent classes and associated factors on healthcare utilization. Methods: Data came from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey in 2014. Latent class analysis was adopted to identify heterogeneous health latent classes by health indicators of physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Two-part models were used to evaluate the impact of health latent classes and socio-demographic factors on outpatient and inpatient utilization. Results: Among 2,981 participants aged 65 and over without missing health indictors, four health latent classes were identified and labeled as “Lacking Socialization” (10.4%), “High Comorbidity” (16.7%), “Frail Group” (7.7%), and “Relatively Healthy” (65.1%). Among 1,974 participants with complete information, compared with the Relatively Healthy group, those in the Lacking Socialization group costed more inpatient expenditure (p-value =0.02). Those in the High Comorbidity and Frail groups tended to use healthcare services and costed more outpatient expenditure (all p-value &lt;0.01). After controlling for health latent classes, the effects of age, gender, marital status, education, residence area, occupation, and health insurance on healthcare utilization were significant. Conclusions: Four heterogeneous health latent classes were identified by multidimensional health, and had significant effects on healthcare utilization. After controlling for health latent classes, different effects of socio-demographic factors on healthcare utilization were found. It enhances our understanding of heterogeneous health and complex healthcare demands in older Chinese, and is valuable for improving healthcare resource allocation targeted for healthy aging.

Background: Birth weight is the most important predictor of newborn health and survival and is associated with higher risk of infant and childhood mortality. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the maternal and socio-demographic factors of low birth weight (LBW) newborns of mothers admitted at a teaching medical college hospital in Dhaka city of Bangladesh. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study. Interview was taken by face to face interview and was focused to obtain the information about maternal weight at onset gestation, before delivery, educational, economical status of family, antenatal care visits, maternal exposure to hypertension and anaemia. Data had been collected from interview and medical records. Results: This study revealed from multivariate liner regression analysis. In this model, birth weight had been considered as continuous variable and results had depicted the relationship of different maternal factors with birth weight. This study suggests that there were several factors which lead to LBW babies. The study shows ANC visits (p value 0.05), number of parity (p value .02) and hypertension (p value 0.02) had significant negative effect of on birth weight. Mothers who had taken less ANC visits, more chance of having LBW.Hypertensive mothers were at risk of having low birth weight babies than normotensive mothers. Number of parity was also found as a significant factor. Primi mothers were more prone to LBW. Conclusion: This study suggests that less ANC visits, increase number of parity and hypertension have significant negative effect of on birth weight.

Abstract Background: It is estimated that over 210 million pregnancies occur each year, with almost half of these unplanned. The evidence further shows that about 76 million of these unplanned pregnancies occur in the developing world, with 19% ending in induced abortion and 11% of these abortions being unsafe. Abortion is greatly stigmatized in Nigeria, and the lack of a legal framework to support access to abortion services necessitates women seeking abortion services in unsafe places. This study, therefore, examines the perception of women on abortion (prevalence and stigma) on long-acting contraceptive (LARC) use in Nigeria.Methods: We performed secondary data analysis on the round 5 of performance monitoring and accountability (PMA) data for seven states in Nigeria for women of reproductive age (n = 11,284), examining responses on use abortion incidence, perceptions on stigmatization and LARC use using χ2 analysis and multivariate logistic regression models.Results: Socio-demographic factors examined were found to be significantly associated with the perception that abortion was common among women who agreed that abortion was shameful. Women residents in rural areas were more likely (OR = 1.34; p-value = 0.000). Further, married women (OR = 15.18, p-value= 0.000) were 15 times more likely to use LARC.Conclusions: Perceptions that abortion is common, and it is a shameful practice were found to be underlying contributors to LARC use in Nigeria. However, the most significant influence is the socio-demographic factors. Therefore, implementing agencies must ensure to tackle socio-demographic barriers to access and legislation of contraceptive uptake as this would reduce mortality from abortions
