Introduction: Offering HIV testing services (HTS) within sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is a priority, especially for women who have a substantial risk. To reach women with HIV who do not know their status and prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends routinely offering HTS as part of family planning (FP) service delivery in high HIV burden settings. We conducted a landscape analysis to assess HTS uptake and HIV positivity in the context of FP/SRH services.Assessment of Research and Programs: We searched records from PubMed, four gray literature databases, and 13 organization websites, and emailed 24 organizations for data on HTS in FP/SRH services. We also obtained data from International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) affiliates in Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Unique programs/studies from records were included if they provided data on, or barriers/facilitators to, offering HTS in FP/SRH. Overall, 2,197 records were screened and 12 unique programs/studies were eligible, including 10 from sub-Saharan Africa. Four reported on co-delivery of SRH services (including FP), with reported HTS uptake between 17 and 94%. Six reported data on HTS in FP services: four among general FP clients; one among couples; and one among female sex workers, adolescent girls, and young women. Two of the six reported HTS uptake >50% (51%, 419/814 Kenya; 63%, 5,930/9,439 Uganda), with positivity rates of 2% and 4.1%, respectively. Uptake was low (8%, 74/969 Kenya) in the one FP program offering pre-exposure prophylaxis. In the IPPF program, seven countries reported HTS uptake in FP services and ranged from 4% in Eswatini to 90% in Lesotho; between 0.6% (Uganda) and 8% (Eswatini) of those tested were HIV positive.Implications: Data on providing HTS in FP/SRH service delivery were sparse and HTS uptake varied widely across programs.Actionable Recommendations: As countries expand HTS in FP/SRH appropriate to epidemiology, they should ensure data are reported and monitored for progress and impact.

BackgroundIn many developing nations, including Ghana, access to contraceptive services, remains a critical concern where urban areas face unique challenges in healthcare delivery. Despite various interventions, the financial burden of assessing these contraceptive services continues to hinder adoption by women especially those with economic challenges. This study explored the costs incurred by women seeking contraceptive services in urban communities by estimating the direct, indirect, and intangible costs in Ghana.MethodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted using the patient perspective; to gather data on direct medical and non-medical costs, indirect costs and intangible costs that were associated with women seeking contraceptive services. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from three Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) facilities in the Accra metropolitan, Suame municipal and Sagnarigu districts in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, and Northern Regions respectively. A total of 125 women accessing contraceptive services were randomly selected and included in the study. Data was analyzed descriptively and reported in frequency tables, pie, and bar charts. All costs were reported in Ghana Cedi and US dollar.ResultsThe average direct cost of contraceptive services was GHS 18.37 ± 22.11 (US$ 1.53 ± 1.84) per visit. This comprised an average direct medical cost of GHS 8.50 ± 7.18 (US$ 0.71 ± 0.60) and non-medical cost of GHS 9.84 ± 20.23 (US$ 0.82 ± 1.69). Clients, on average, lost 52.1 minutes due to traveling and waiting, resulting in an average productivity loss of GHS 1.62 per visit. The average economic cost of contraceptive service was GHS 19.99 (US$ 1.67) per patient. About 92% of the economic cost was made up of direct cost. 71.2% of respondents consulted their partners before accessing contraceptive services, and 94% believed that their decision to use contraceptives did not negatively affect their relationships, however, many reported pains during the procedure.ConclusionThe study highlights the considerable direct and indirect costs associated with accessing modern contraceptive services, indicating a potential barrier to access when compared to daily minimum wage and prevailing economic conditions. Addressing these economic challenges is crucial for ensuring access to contraceptive services. Innovative strategies such as service delivery outreaches and deployment of digital health interventions to expand self-care is recommended to help reduce travel time to and from the service delivery point for contraceptive services.

Abstract

The 1992 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) was a nationally representative sample survey of women age 15-49. The survey was designed to provide information onlevels and trends of fertility, infant and child mortality, family planning knowledge and use, and maternal and child health. The ZDHS was carried out by the University of Zambia in collaboration with Central Statistical Office and the Ministry of Health. Fieldwork was conducted from mid-January to mid-May 1992, during which time, over 6000 households and 7000 women were interviewed.

The primary objectives of the ZDHS are: - To collect up-to-date information on fertility, infant and child mortality and family planning; - To collect information on health-related matters such as breastfeeding, antenatal care, children's immunizations and childhood diseases; - To assess the nutritional status of mothers and children; - To support dissemination and utilisation of the results in planning, managing and improving family planning and health services in the country; and - To enhance the survey capabilities of the institutions Involved in order to facilitate the implementation of surveys of this type in the future.

MAIN RESULTS

• Results imply that fertility in Zambia has been declining over the past decade or so; at current levels, Zambian women will give birth to an average of 6.5 children during their reproductive years.

• Contraceptive knowledge is nearly universal in Zambia; over 90 percent of married women reported knowing about at least one modern contraceptive method.Over half of women using modern methods obtained them from government sources.

• Women in Zambia am marrying somewhat later than they did previously. The median age at marriage has increased from 17 years or under among women now in their 30s and 40s to 18 years or older among women in their 20s. Women with secondary education marry three years later (19.9) than women with no education (16.7).

• Over one-fifth (22 percent) of currently married women do not want to have any more children.

• One of the most striking findings from the ZDHS is the high level of child mortality and its apparent increase in recent years.

• Information on various aspects of maternal and child healtlr--antenatal care, vaccinations, bmastfeeding and food supplementation, and illness---was collected in the ZDHS on births in the five years preceding the survey.

• ZDHS data indic ate that haft of the births in Zambia are delivered at home and half in health facilities.

• Based on information obtained from health cards and mothers' reports, 95 percent of children age 12- 23 months are vaccinated against tuberculosis, 94 percent have received at least one dose of DPT and polio vaccines, and 77 percent have been vaccinated against measles. Sixty-seven percent of children age 12-23 months have been fully immunised and only 4 percent have not received any immuhisations.

• Almost all children in Zambia (98 percent) are breastfed. The median duration of breasffeeding is relatively long (19 months), but supplemental liquids and foods are introduced at an early age. By age 2-3 months, half of all children are being given supplementary food or liquid.

• ZDHS data indicate that undemutrition is an obstacle to improving child health; 40 percent of children under age five are stunted or short for their age, compared to an international reference population. Five percent of children are wasted or thin for their height and 25 percent are underweight for their age.

• The ZDHS included several questions about knowledge of AIDS. Almost all respondents (99 percent) had heard of AIDS and the vast majority (90 percent) knew that AIDS is transmitted through sexual intercourse.

The implementation of all these aspects of the PHC programmes requires multi-sectoral action and close collaboration among the various govemment institutions. The Govemment has therefore set up multi- sectoral PHC committees as an integral part of the PHC basic supportive manpower and inter-sectoral collaboration with other ministries has been given prominence.

Sampling procedure

Zambia is divided administratively into 9 provinces and 57 districts. In preparation for the 1990 Census of Population, Housing and Agriculture, the entire country was demarcated into Census Supervisory Areas (CSAs). Each CSA was in turn divided into Standard Enumeration Areas (SEAs) of roughly equal size. The measure of size used for selecting the ZDHS sample was the number of households obtained during a quick count operation carried out in 1987. The frame of 4240 CSAs was stratified into urban anti rural areas within each province, with the districts ordered geographically within provinces, thus providing further implicit stratification.

The ZDHS sample was selected from this frame in three stages. First, 262 CSAs (149 in urban areas and 113 in rural areas) were selected from this frame with probability proportional to size (the number of households from the quick count). One SEA was then selected from within each sampled CSA, again with probability proportion to size. The Central Statistical Office (CSO) then organised a household listing operation, in which all structures in the selected SEAs were numbered (on doors), the names of the heads of households were listed and the households were marked by number on sketch maps of the SEAs. These household lists were used to select a systematic sample of households for the third and final stage of sampling. Initially, the objective of the ZDHS sample design was to be able to produce estimates at the national level, for urban and rural areas separately, and for the larger provinces. Since Zambia's population is almost equally divided by urban and rural residence, a self weighting sample was originally designed. Later, it was decided that it would be desirable to be able to produce separate estimates for all nine provinces. To achieve this objective, additional rural CSAs (and SEAs) were selected inLuapula, North- eastern and Western Provinces and the sample take (number of households) in each rural SEA in these provinces was reduced from 42 to 35 in order to minimise the total sample size increase (the sample take was 20 households in urban areas). As a result of this oversampling in Luapula, North-Western and Western Provinces, the ZDHS sample is not self-weighting at the national level.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face

Research instrument

Two types of questionnaires were used for the ZDHS: (a) the Household Questionnaire and (b) the Individual Questionnaire.

The contents of these questionnaires were based on the DHS Model B Questionnaire, which is designed for use in countries with low levels of contraceptive use. Additions and modifications to the model questionnaires were made after consultation with members of the Department of Social Development Studies of the University of Zambia, the Central Statistical Office (CSO), the Ministry of Health, the Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia (PPAZ), and the National Commission for Development Planning. The questionnaires were developed in English and then translated into and printed in seven of the most widely spoken languages (Bemba, Kaonde, Lozi, Lunda, Luvale, Nyanja and Tonga).

a) The Household Questionnaire was used to list all the usual members and visitors of a selected household. Some basic information was collected on the characteristics of each person listed, including his/her age, sex, education, and relationship to the head of the household. The main purpose of the Household Questionnaire was to identify women who were eligible for the individual interview. In addition, information was collected on the household itself, such as the source of water, type of toilet facilities, material used for the floor of the house, and ownership of various consumer goods.

b) The Individual Questionnaire was used to collect information from women age 15-49 about the following topics: Background characteristics (education, religion, etc.); Reproductive history; Knowledge and use of family planning methods; Antenatal and delivery care; Breastfeeding and weaning practices; Vaccinations and health of children under age five; Marriage; Fertility preferences; Husband's background and respondent's work; and Awareness of AIDS.

In addition, interviewing teams measured the height and weight of all children under age five and their mothers.

Cleaning operations

All questionnaires for the ZDHS were returned to the University of Zambia for data processing. The processing operation consisted of office editing, coding of open-ended questions, data entry, and editing errors found by the computer programs. Two programmers (one from the CSO and one from the University), one questionnaire administrator, two office editors, and three data entry operators were responsible for the data processing operation. The data were processed on four microcomputers owned by the Department of Social Development Studies at the University of Zambia. The ZDHS data entry and editing programs were written in ISSA (Integrated System for Survey Analysis) and followed the standard DHS consistency checks and editing procedures. Simple range and skip errors were corrected at the data entry stage. Secondary machine editing of the

In response to leaked documents from May 3, 2022 which indicated the United States Supreme Court's intention to overturn Roe v. Wade, U.S. adults were asked what impact this will have on the upcoming midterm elections. 43 percent of surveyed adults felt that the overturning of Roe would help the Democratic Party in some way, while 19 percent felt that it would help the Republican Party.

Roe v. Wade The 1973 Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade established the right to terminate a pregnancy. The Court issued a 7-2 majority ruling based on the due process clause of the 14th amendment and that a fundamental right to privacy protects individuals from government interference when seeking abortion services. Roe is often associated with another Supreme Court case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a 1992 ruling that upheld Roe, and introduced fetal viability to the law, which forbade states from regulating abortion until 24 weeks of pregnancy. Despite declining rates of abortion, in the United States and broad support for legal abortion access, Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were overturned by the Supreme Court in June 2022 with the ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a decision seen as being widely unpopular.

2022 midterm election

In November 2022, Americans will head to the polls for the congressional midterm elections. Support for abortion rights tends to fall along party lines with Democrats being in favor and Republicans being opposed. With 26 states either criminalizing or poised to criminalize abortion, 36 million women will lose their access to safe abortion services. While the party in power has historically lost seats in midterm elections, the wide popularity of abortion rights could prove advantageous to Democrats. Women voters in particular could play a key role in the upcoming congressional elections given a 2018 poll that found 68 percent of women were in favor of the protections granted by Roe. In addition to the 43 percent of surveyed Americans who said that they thought the overturning of Roe would help Democrats, 36 percent indicated that it would make them more likely to vote in this year's midterm elections.

BACKGROUND St. Lucia is a Caribbean island located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad & Tobago. With a land span of 616 sq. km, St. Lucia is volcanic and mountainous with some broad fertile valleys. Based on reports from the CIA World Fact Book, St. Lucia's population as of July 2012 is estimated at 162,178 persons, with a male to female ration of 1.06. Of the total population, 67.5% are between the ages of 15 to 64 years, 22.8% are between the ages of 0 to 14 years, and 9.7% are 65 years and older. According to St. Lucia Statistics Office, approximately 20% of the population i s between the ages of 15 and 24 years (around 30,000 people) and of this, 80% of these youth are sexually active. Ninety percent (90%) of this last subgroup has been sexually active within the past month. This leads to an estimated target population size of 22,000 for Population Services International. Saint Lucia is mostly a rural country (only 28% of the population is described as urbanized). Tourism is the main driver of the economy and the manufacturing sector is described as the most diverse in the eastern Caribbean. According to the 2010 St. Lucia UNGASS report, the country'™s HIV/AIDS status is described as a concentrated, low prevalence epidemic. The report also indicates that while current HIV infections continue to be characterized by heterosexual intercourse, in the Saint Lucian context drivers of the epidemic broadly include: transactional sex where no cash is exchanged but gifts are given and support suppl ied; sex for drugs (crack, cocaine) and traditional sex work (exchange of sex for money) primarily by both foreign and local women. Foreign women primarily work in brothels and strip-clubs while local women are known to work in areas frequented by tourists. Trends in HIV transmission have also been linked to increased poverty and social disintegration. The UNGASS report continues to state that further to these broad drivers, there is a hidden but believed to be substantial population of men having sex with men exclusively (MSM) and men having sex with both men and women (MSMW). This is thought to be exacerbating the HIV epidemic and statistical evidence suggests that the behaviors of MSMW have contributed to the feminization of the HIV epidemic in St. Lucia STUDY OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Tracking Results Continuously (TRaC) survey among sexually active youth 16-24 years in St. Lucia is to provide evidence for monitoring and implementation of PSI/SFH HIV prevention Program. The data gathered through the 2012 TRaC survey will be analyzed according to PSI's Performance Framework DESIGN/METHODOLOGY This study design calls for a time location sampling approach. The total sample size will be 530 youth 16 to 24. Data will be aggregated to create dashboard tables. Information from the St. Lucia Government Statistics Department was used to estimate the target population size of 22,000 (this estimate is based on a population size of approximately 30,000 youth 15-24 years with 80% of these youth who are sexually active and 90% of this population sexually active within the past month). œHot spots (i.e. specific locations where youth 16-24 years are known to congregate e.g. community blocks, beaches, clubs, bars, shopping areas, sporting events) will be identified within St. Lucian communities. Personnel at the National AIDS Program and the St. Lucia Planned Parenthood who have worked extensively with the target population will identify all locations and the time that youth are generally found to be congregating at these locations. These well-informed persons will make estimates of the number of youth at each location. St. Lucia is divided into ten (10) parishes both urban and rural. Despite these divisions there are no real distinctions between where the urban and rural youth congregate. Young people in St. Lucia are found at popular community blocks, residential houses, bars, clubs, shopping areas, and sporting events at specific times. Youth who congregate at selected locations will be approached by interviewers and using a systematic random process to participate in the study. For instance, if an interviewer visits a ˜hot spot™ and there are 13 youth at that location the interviewer will assign a number to all persons within the target population age group and select every nth person to interview after choosing a random starting number. If the selected individual does not meet the inclusion criteria which includes being between 16-24 years, has had sexual intercourse in last 30 days and has had more than one sexual partner in the last three (3) months, then another member from the group will be randomly selected. Youth on the street will be selected rather than youth at their homes because information obtained from youth at home may be negatively skewed. A young person at home in St. Lucia would usually be in the presence of their parent or guardian and therefore would be less open about offering information about their sexual behaviour. Youth who are on the street would be more willing to offer the sensitive information required. Care will be taken to ensure that males and females and the respective age groups (i.e. 16-19 years and 20-24 years) are represented from the population. Based on the sample size calculated quotas for males and females will be set to ensure that the sample is representative of the St. Lucia youth population.
