“…(Note: numbers do not add to 423 because some articles included perspectives from multiple population groups.) Separate systematic reviews examining the values and preferences of women with specific reproductive health experiences (i.e., pregnant, postpartum, seeking emergency contraception, or seeking abortion) [9] , adolescents and young adults [7] , people living with HIV [10] , other end-users in specific circumstances (i.e., sex workers, transmasculine individuals, people who inject drugs, and those living in humanitarian contexts) [8] , and health workers [11] are published in this same journal issue.…”

“…Prior studies have shown that partner opinion influences likelihood of contraceptive use (5,8,14,15,17,18). A study of South African university students found that women were more likely to use female condoms if their partner had a "positive attitude" toward the condoms (17).…”

ObjectiveCurrently available contraceptive methods do not meet the needs of all users. We sought to explore preferences of potential end-users regarding an on-demand, non-hormonal female contraceptive currently under development, using a web-based survey.Study designWe recruited respondents for an exploratory survey via web link on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Individuals were eligible if they were 18–44 years of age, identified as cis-gender female, were English-speaking, not pregnant, and had used barrier contraception previously. Respondents provided demographic characteristics and a basic reproductive history. We then provided a brief description of the potential contraceptive. Respondents were asked about their interest in the proposed contraceptive and preferences for method attributes.ResultsA total of 500 respondents completed the survey. Three-quarters of respondents were <35 years of age and 48.2% were currently using a barrier contraceptive method. Three-fourths of respondents (73.8%) expressed interest in using the contraceptive under development. The majority wanted the method to be small (≤2 inches), rod-shaped, and low cost (<$5 per use). More than half (59.4%) said it was important to be able to use the method without partners’ knowledge. The most reported potential concerns were vaginal irritation (51.6%) and lack of effectiveness (46.4%). Sixty percent of respondents were confident they could use the method correctly.DiscussionAvailable contraceptive methods lack attributes preferred by some users. Development of new contraceptives frequently does not involve end-user input early in the development process. Individuals in this sample displayed interest in the proposed contraceptive and expressed preferences that can inform the further development of this method.

“… 6 They can be discriminated against by health workers and other officials, and may be prevented from accessing care due to illegal migrancy status. 7–9 As with other marginalised communities, FSW may lack knowledge on their legal entitlements, may be unaware of where safe services are available, or may feel too stigmatised to request abortions from regulated services (if they are available). 10 , 11 Social networks have also been found to be instrumental in knowledge dissemination on unsafe abortion practices, and these may be particularly pronounced among marginalised FSW networks.…”

Previous studies have found high levels of unintended pregnancy among female sex workers (FSW), but less attention has been paid to their abortion practices and outcomes. This study is the first to investigate abortion-related mortality among FSW across eight countries: Angola, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. The Community Knowledge Approach (CKA) was used to survey a convenience sample of FSW ( n = 1280). Participants reported on the deaths of peer FSW in their social networks during group meetings convened by non-governmental organisations ( n = 165 groups, conducted across 24 cities in 2019). Details on any peer FSW deaths in the preceding five years were recorded. The circumstances of abortion-related deaths are reported here. Of the 1320 maternal deaths reported, 750 (56.8%) were due to unsafe abortion. The number of abortion-related deaths reported was highest in DRC (304 deaths reported by 270 participants), Kenya (188 deaths reported by 175 participants), and Nigeria (216 deaths reported by 312 participants). Among the abortion-related deaths, mean gestational age was 4.6 months and 75% occurred outside hospital. Unsafe abortion methods varied by country, but consumption of traditional or unknown medicines was most common (37.9% and 29.9%, respectively). The 750 abortion-related deaths led to 1207 children being left motherless. The CKA successfully recorded a stigmatised practice among a marginalised population, identifying very high levels of abortion-related mortality. Urgent action is now needed to deliver comprehensive sexual and reproductive healthcare to this vulnerable population, including contraption, safe abortion, and post-abortion care.
