“…Differential access to contraception has been proposed as an explanation for the higher unintended birth rates among low-income women (e.g., Frost et al 2007). However, qualitative and quantitative studies of women reporting unintended births show that lack of access to contraception is not a primary cause of unintended conception (Edin and Kefalas 2005;Sable et al 2000). Instead, women attribute their non-use or inconsistent use of contraception to low motivation to avoid pregnancy and decision-making factors around contraceptive use.…”

Research on unintended fertility tends to focus on births as isolated events. This article expands previous research by examining the relationship between early unintended childbearing and subsequent fertility dynamics in the United States. Data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth show that 27.5% of mothers report an unintended first birth. We use event history methods to show that these women are significantly more likely than women with an intended first birth to have an unintended second birth than to have either no second birth or an intended second birth, net of sociodemographic characteristics. An unintended first birth also increases the risk of having an unintended third birth relative to no birth or an intended birth, independent of the intendedness of the second birth. We conclude that early unintended fertility is a strong signal of high risk for subsequent unintended fertility.

“…Acne patients in the lower socio-economic groups were less likely to visit a dermatologist for specialist consultation [13] due to financial limitations. Other non-clinical influences on the lack of attendance at secondary-care clinics include socio-economic barriers such as further time off work [14], being busy with children at home [15], treatment costs and difficulty in transportation to the clinic [16,17,18,19]. …”

Background: Clinical decision making is a complex process and might be influenced by a wide range of clinical and non-clinical factors. Little is known about this process in dermatology. Aims: The aim of this study was to explore the different types of management decisions made in dermatology and to identify factors influencing those decisions from observation of consultations and interviews with the patients. Methods: 61 patient consultations were observed by a physician with experience in dermatology. The patients were interviewed immediately after each consultation. Consultations and interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and their content analysed using thematic content analysis. Results: The most commonmanagement decisions made during the consultations included: follow-up, carrying out laboratory investigation, starting new topical treatment, renewal of systemic treatment, renewal of topical treatment, discharging patients and starting new systemic treatment. Common influences on those decisions included: clinical factors such as ineffectiveness of previous therapy, adherence to prescribing guidelines, side-effects of medications, previous experience with the treatment, deterioration or improvement in the skin condition, and chronicity of skin condition. Non-clinical factors included: patient’s quality of life, patient’s friends or relatives, patient’s time commitment, travel or transportation difficulties, treatment-related costs, availability of consultant, and availability of treatment. Conclusion: The study has shown that patients are aware that management decisions in dermatology are influenced by a wide range of clinical and non-clinical factors. Education programmes should be developed to improve the quality of decision making.
