“…The result of this study was in line with a study by Jalang et al (2017), which showed that women with higher education were more likely to use LARCs than those with low education. Other studies have also shown that the higher a woman education, it would increase the likelihood of choosing sterilization by 1.4 times compared to women who had no formal education (Yamamoto and Matsumoto, 2017). 3.…”

“…A good level of knowledge will influence the selection of LARC contraceptives (Ajong et al, 2016). A woman's education is also one of the factors that can influence the choice of contraceptive LARC (Yamamoto and Matsumoto, 2017). This is because a person with a high level of education will more easily accept a new idea so that it will be able to find the causes and solutions to determine which contraception will be used (Dewi and Notobroto, 2014).…”

Background: Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are the most effective methods of birth control. LARCs include the copper IUD, the hormonal (progesterone) IUD, and the hormonal contraceptive implant (effective for 10, 5 and 3 years, respectively). These methods of birth control can prevent unwanted pregnancy up to 20 times better than birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings. However, the use of LARCs remains low in Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of women's choice of a LARC in Boyolali, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted in 25 community health centers, Boyolali District, Central Java, from April 24 to May 20, 2018. A sample of 200 women in reproductive age was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was choice of a LARC. The independent variables were age, education, parity, knowledge, husband support, and counseling by health worker. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a logistic regression multilevel using Stata 13 program. Results:Women's choice of the LARC increased with age ≥35 years (b= 4.54; 95% CI= 1.69 to 12.15; p= 0.003), education ≥senior high school (b= 4.59; 95%CI= 1.80 to 11.70; p= 0.001), parity ≥3 (b = 7.15; 95%CI= 2.63 to 19.44; p<0.001), better knowledge (b= 2.20; 95% CI= 0.88 to 5.50; p= 0.089), counseling by health worker (b= 2.82; 95% CI= 1.11 to 7.11; p= 0.028), and husband support (b= 5.54; 95% CI= 2.15 to 14.28; p<0.001). Conclusion: Women's choice of LARC increases with age ≥35 years, education ≥senior high school, parity ≥3, better knowledge, counseling by health worker, and husband support.

“…15 Although several papers have highlighted the need for equity and diversity in authorship representation from LMICs and HICs, 16 17 few have raised concerns for inclusive practices of employment and remuneration in these global mental health research programmes, which may further perpetuate issues of gender inequality in LMICs. 18 Nepali women continue to face challenges in everyday life: less household decision-making power, 19 20 greater exposure to sexual violence, 20 adverse reproductive healthcare outcomes, 21 and less labour market participation. 22 Because women face structural vulnerability in Nepal, they are also more likely to face disadvantages in the workplace.…”

IntroductionAlthough women’s health is prioritised in global research, few studies have identified structural barriers and strategies to promote female leadership and gender equality in the global health research workforce, especially in low-income and middle-income countries.MethodsWe conducted a mixed-methods study to evaluate gender equality in the mental health research workforce in Nepal. The scoping review assessed gender disparities in authorship of journal publications for Nepal mental health research, using databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, NepJol, NepMed) for 5 years. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 Nepali researchers to identify structural barriers limiting women’s leadership.ResultsOf 337 articles identified, 61% were by Nepali first authors. Among Nepali first authors, 38.3% were women. Nepali women had half the odds of being first authors compared with men, when referenced against non-Nepali authors (OR 0.50, 95% CI 1.30 to 3.16). When limiting publications to those based on funded research, the odds were worse for first authorship among Nepali women (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.71). The qualitative analysis supported the scoping review and identified a lack of gender-friendly organisational policies, difficulties in communication and mobility, and limited opportunities for networking as barriers to women’s leadership in global health research.ConclusionEfforts are needed for greater representation of Nepali women in global mental health research, which will require transformative organisational policies to foster female leadership. Those in leadership need to recognise gender inequalities and take necessary steps to address them. Funding agencies should prioritise supporting organisations with gender equality task forces, policies and indicators.
