This book was released on 2008 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa, as in many parts of the world, adolescent reproductive health is a controversial issue for policy makers and programme planners. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to HIV and AIDS and to a host of other problems such as sexually transmitted infection, unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortions, sexual abuse, female genital mutilation and unsafe circumcision. Yet many countries do not have adolescent health policies in place and much remains to be done to ensure that adolescents can access appropriate sexual and reproductive health services. The authors of this volume present new perspectives and strategies to promote adolescent sexual and reproductive health. In particular, they make a unique attempt to bring together social and biomedical science and to disseminate concrete empirical evidence from existing programmes, carefully analysing what works and what does not at the local level.

This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Miscellaneous, grade: A (70.0), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL WORK), course: SOCIOLOGY, language: English, abstract: Incidence and prevalence of reproductive health difficulties have been shown to be higher among younger people in the society. Preferences for youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services and facilities are very limited. This study examines youth assessment of youth friendliness of sexual reproductive health services and how it influences their services reproductive health services utilization. The study adopted both descriptive and analytical cross sectional survey designs. In all 170 youth aged 10-24 were sampled from the Kwadaso Sub Metro using multi-stage stratified random sampling techniques. Both Bivariate and Univariate analysis were conducted with Chi-square test of significance and Pearson moment correlation to establish relations and associations between and among variables of interest. The study found out that in 56.0% (84/150) of the 150 in-school youth had ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend with the majority 39.3%(33/84) not recalling the length of stay with partner whiles only 58% (87/150) have heard about sexual reproductive health services offered in the study area. In all 45.2% (77/170) of youth (10-24) had had sexual experience in life time. Among the in -school youth with sexual experience were 63(thus 42% of total) whiles out of school youth was 14(70%). A total of 69.9% (44/63) in-school youth had sexual intercourse in the last six months whiles only 35.7(5/14) out of school youth had sex in the last six months A total of 55.8% (95/170) of all categories of youth had used at least one or more reproductive health service in lifetime. However, a marginal 25.2% (43/170) of youth had used facility based sexual reproductive health services out of which 39% and 44% considered the services very friendly and friendly. There was statistically significant relationship between youth knowledge of the available sexual reproductive health service and reproductive health service utilization (X2=0.00, P≤0.05) and a strong positive correlation(r=0.5, R2=0.25). 25% of the relationship was explained by linear relationship. A stakeholder integrative and comprehensive approach is required scale up youth utilization of sexual reproductive health services especially facility based ones as friendliness is being improved upon and system barriers removed. This requires baseline survey of youth users of reproductive health services and the quality of services offered.

This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, sexual reproductive health programs have been introduced and recognized as important initiatives to contribute to the overall health of communities and lessening unsustainable population growth and poverty rates in Ghana. Entertainment education has been an effective communication strategy in addressing development issues aimed at eliminating harmful social and cultural practices, social norms, and structural inequalities. The employment of edutainment in promoting adolescent reproductive health has encouraged positive behaviours to be practiced and advocated by the viewers to others. However, the creation of storylines for campaign programmes on sexual reproductive health programs sometimes, mostly emphasize and reinforce deeply embedded cultural values of viewers. Such storyline design and plot cultivate in viewers toxic and archaic traditional practices and gendered roles that continue to reinforce the oppression of women as a minority group at all levels. This paper investigates the contents of YOLO, a popular Ghanaian television show that educates viewers on the importance of sexual reproductive health using entertainment as a tool with a familiar and relatable cast such as celebrities. The study employs Feminist Media Studies as a critical theoretical lens to investigate issues on gender stereotypes that continue to assume dominant spaces in the media and get reinforced in television programs such as YOLO. Using feminist methodology, the study revealed that through themes such as promotion of empowerment, reinforcing conventional African motherhood, westernization, and reinforcing performative gender roles, female characters in the series exercise agency and display sense of independence and empowerment within a presumptive patriarchal environment. The study concludes, however, that the notion of empowerment that enables women to exercise agency is anchored on the concept of modernization which adopts the western way of life and in a subversive manner, encourages disregard for the African culture and norms and, consequently inhibits women and communal empowerment in a sustainable manner to promote social change.
