“…Our results confirmed this fact which further supported the work of Shabana and Martin Boabak 16 and consistent with most of the literature from South Asia and elsewhere [25][26][27][28][29] . Desire for more children, pressure from husband and religion were the main reasons for the non users reflecting the culture, historical background and typical male dominant society of Bangladesh.…”

“…This is similar to the literature of educational attainment which is often cited as a determinant of contraceptive use (Al Riyami et al, 2004;Malhotra and Schuler, 2005;Ahmed et al, 2010;Habib et al, 2017). Another important family planning practice was significantly associated with age of women.…”

Ethiopia is among the African countries with high maternal and child mortality rates, with a fastgrowing population. To prevent the fast growing population; availability, the stability of contraceptive method and identifying factors that affects the practice of modern contraceptives should be given a priority. Thus, this study aims to identify the practice of contraceptives focusing on women's empowerment and other gender-related factors among married women. Primary data were collected from 984 married women out of which 561 (57.01) were users of contraceptives in Amhara region. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and econometric models such as multiple and multilevel logistic regressions. The results showed that; zone, the educational status of the couple, the age of women, discussing family planning issues with a partner, decisions about how each partner's income would be used, the income of women, wife beating and sexual response were significant factors in family planning. The multilevel analysis found that the variance of the random component related to the intercept term was found to be statistically significant, implying differences in the prevalence of family planning among the zone. It also found that the educational status of the couple, the age of the women, discussing family planning issues with a partner, decisions making in income earnings, the income of women, wife beating and sexual response were significant determinants of varying proportions of family planning.

“…36 The autonomy a woman has to make decisions has been positively associated with the use of reproductive health services. 37 However, it is not clear whether this relationship is mediated through education. A study carried out in Pakistan found that contraceptive use was strongly associated with a woman's educational level but this relation was not mediated by women's autonomy.…”

Objective To determine the factors associated with participation in cervical cancer screening and follow-up treatment in the context of a randomized controlled trial. The trial was initiated to evaluate the efficacy and cost effectiveness of visual inspection with acetic acid, cytological screening and testing for human papillomavirus in reducing the incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer in Maharashtra, India. Methods Between October 1999 and November 2003 women aged 30-59 years were randomized to receive one of the three tests or to a control group. Participation was analysed for all three intervention arms. The differences between those who were screened versus those who were not was analysed according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the 100 800 eligible women invited for screening. Those who were treated versus those who were not were analysed according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the 932 women diagnosed with high-grade lesions. Participation in screening and compliance with treatment were also analysed according to the type of test used. Findings Compared with women who were not tested, screened women were younger (aged 30-39), better educated and had ever used contraception. A higher proportion of screened women were married and a lower proportion had never been pregnant. Of the 932 women diagnosed with high-grade lesions or invasive cancer, 85.3% (795) received treatment. Women with higher levels of education, who had had fewer pregnancies and those who were married were more likely to comply with treatment. There were no differences in rates of screening or compliance with treatment when results were analysed by the test received. Conclusion Irrespective of the test being used, good participation levels for cervical cancer screening can be achieved in rural areas of developing countries by using appropriate strategies to deliver services. Communication methods and delivery strategies aimed at encouraging older, less-educated women, who have less contact with reproductive services, are needed to further increase screening uptake.
