Title: Expanding access to injectable contraception.
Author: Family Health International [FHI]
Source: [Unpublished] [2009]. 12 p.
Abstract: A number of technological developments can make injections safer for administration, whether by health personnel, trained community workers or the women themselves: sub-cutaneous injections, which have less complications than intra-muscular injections; non-reusable disposable syringes Distribution by community health workers needs special attention to: the possibility that a woman is already pregnant (or seeking an abortion by using an injectable); the screening of women with pre-existing conditions or on medications; the need for counselling for side-effects (in particular: vaginal bleeding irregularities, amenorrhea, weight gain, delay in return to fertility); the safety of injections to the woman and to the health worker; the possible confusion between different injectables --provided by public and private sectors. To complement pre-service and in-service training, a number of job aids are available to support community workers providing injectables: medical eligibility criteria wheel to screen for eligibility; pregnancy checklist; simplified material for the management of side-effects (bleeding, amenorrhea, weight changes, etc).

Title: 2008 Africa population data sheet.
Author: African Population and Health Research Center; Population Reference Bureau [PRB]
Source: Washington, D.C., Population Reference Bureau [PRB], 2008. 11 p.
Abstract: Even as African women use family planning more and bear fewer children, the continent's youthful population will fuel the continent's growth for many decades to come. Africa's population of 967 million is projected to grow to 1.9 billion by 2050, according to the 2008 Africa Population Data Sheet, produced by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) and the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC). The report highlights the regional differences within Africa, especially between sub-Saharan and Northern Africa. Contraceptive use has increased fastest in Northern and Southern Africa, and as a result, the number of children the average woman in those regions has during her lifetime has dropped from nearly six children in the early 1980s to around three in 2005. This has slowed population growth in those regions. In most Eastern, Western, and Middle African countries, however, use of family planning remains low, and fertility rates have dropped little, with women averaging between five and six children. Educational attainment, considered an important element in reducing poverty, has increased in many countries, especially at the primary level. But fewer than 75 percent of primary school-age children were enrolled in primary school in Chad, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and several other countries. African countries have made less progress getting children to advance to secondary school. For all of sub-Saharan Africa, the average net enrollment for secondary school is 28 percent. The 2008 Africa Population Data Sheet also includes a series of indicators on population growth, urbanization, family planning use, teenage motherhood, HIV/AIDS, and gross national income per capita for African countries.

Title: 2008 world population data sheet.
Author: Population Reference Bureau [PRB]
Source: Washington, D.C., PRB, 2008. 16 p.
Abstract: This wall chart, the 2008 World Population Data Sheet of the Population Reference Bureau, includes demographic data and estimates for the countries and regions of the world. In addition, it summarizes and compares the latest population estimates, projections, and other key indicators for all geopolitical entities with populations of 150,00 or more. As world population has risen from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 6.7 billion in 2008, the proportion living in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean has expanded from 68 percent to more than 80 percent. India and China, with a billion-plus each in 2008, make up about 37 percent of the total. Projections for 2050 show this shift to developing countries continuing. Highlighted in this wall chart is naternal mortality in developing countries, the shift in population density from rural to urban areas, and mother's education and children's nutritional status.

Abstract: The AIDS epidemic remains one of the greatest challenges confronting the international community. In countries with a large number of people living with HIV, all population and development indicators are affected by the epidemic. Governments often cite HIV/AIDS as their most significant demographic concern. For more than two decades, the rapidly expanding HIV/AIDS epidemic has triggered a wide array of responses at the national, regional and global levels. The goals established by the United Nations General Assembly in the 2000 Millennium Declaration and through the adoption of the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS reflect widely-held concerns about the impact of the epidemic on development and human well-being. More recently, at the 2006 High Level Meeting on AIDS, Member States adopted a Political Declaration focusing on how to attain universal access to comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention programs, treatment, care and support by 2010.

Abstract: At the 2005 World Summit, Governments committed themselves to "achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015, as set out at the International Conference on Population and Development" (A/RES/60/1). This wall chart presents the latest data available on key dimensions of reproductive health, including two of the indicators for the Millennium Development Goals, namely, contraceptive prevalence relative to the use of any method (indicator 5.3) and unmet need for family planning (indicator 5.6). The wall chart shows that universal access to reproductive health is still far from being attained since, at least in terms of unmet need for family planning, in at least 43 countries over 20 per cent of the women of reproductive age who are married or in union have not met their need for contraception. Nevertheless, contraceptive use continues to increase. At the world level, 63 per cent of women of reproductive age who are married or in union are currently using a contraceptive method for a total of 716 million worldwide. (excerpt)

Title: World fertility patterns 2007. [Wallchart].
Author: United Nations. Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Population Division
Source: New York, New York, United Nations, 2008 Jan. [2] p. (ST/ESA/SER.A/269)
Abstract: The last decades of the twentieth century witnessed a major transformation in world fertility: total fertility fell from an average of 4.5 children per woman in 1970-1975 to 2.6 children per woman in 2000-2005. This change was driven mostly by developing countries whose fertility dropped by nearly half (from 5.4 to 2.9 children per woman) with the decline being less marked among the least developed countries where fertility remains high (their average fertility declined from 6.6 children per woman in 1970-1975 to 5.0 in 2000-2005). This chart presents some of the data available to assess the change in fertility taking place in the countries of the world. For each of the 195 countries or areas with at least 100,000 inhabitants in 2007, it displays available unadjusted data on total fertility, age-specific fertility and the mean age at childbearing for two points in time: the first as close as possible to 1970 and the second as close as possible to 2005. Data on total fertility for the world as a whole, the development groups and major areas are estimates referring to 1970-1975 and 2000-2005 derived from the 2006 Revision of World Population Prospects. The chart thus presents regional estimates of fertility change and part of the basic data underlying those estimates. (excerpt)

Abstract: To draw up new growth charts for Libyan children under 5 years of age, a cross-sectional survey was carried out in urban and rural areas in 2 regions of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from June 1999 to February 2000. Using WHO cluster sampling methodology, 1473 infants and children of both sexes aged between 0 and 59 months were selected from residential areas, maternal and child health centres, kindergartens and the delivery section of hospitals. Growth charts for weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height were plotted and smoothed, to provide reference curves for clinical, epidemiological and research purposes. In addition, mean Z-scores were analysed by sociodemographic variables collected from interviews with parents. Factors with a strong influence on childhood growth patterns were child's age, mother's education level and sex.

Title: Population Reference Bureau. Family planning worldwide 2008 data sheet.
Author: Clifton D; Kaneda T; Ashford L
Source: Washington, D.C., Population Reference Bureau [PRB], 2008. 15 p.
Abstract: In nearly all developing countries, the number of women of reproductive age (ages 15 to 49) will grow between 2005 and 2015 because of the large numbers of young people in these countries. In addition, the demand for contraceptives is projected to grow due to couples' desires for smaller families. As a result, the total cost of contraceptive supplies to meet couples' needs is projected to rise by nearly 50 percent (in today's U.S. dollars) in countries such as Tanzania and Nepal. The costs are certain to grow throughout the developing world, placing pressure on governments to increase their family planning budgets, raise additional donor funds, obtain better prices for commodities, and/or shift a greater share of costs to users.

Title: HIV prevalence estimates from the Demographic and Health Surveys.
Author: Nybro E; Barrere B
Source: Calverton, Maryland, Macro International, Inc., 2008 Jul. [25] p.
Abstract: This report includes data from MEASURE DHS surveys. The data are cross-sectional and provide a snapshot of the current situation in the 28 countries that included HIV testing in their surveys. The Dominican Republic, Mali, and Zambia have had two surveys with HIV testing done since 2001. However, HIV testing was not connected to the entire survey record in earlier surveys for these three countries, preventing analysis across background characteristics. Tanzania surveys included fully-linked testing in both 2003-04 and in 2007-08. For the Dominican Republic and Mali, only the most recent survey findings are presented. At the time of this publication, final results of the 2007 Zambia and 2007-08 Tanzania surveys were not yet available. Therefore, findings from the first surveys are presented for these two countries.

Title: An assessment of the quality of data on health and nutrition in the DHS Surveys, 1993-2003.
Author: Pullum TW
Source: Calverton, Maryland, Macro International, MEASURE DHS, 2008 Dec. [165] p. (USAID Contract No. GPO-C-00-03-00002-00)
Abstract: The purpose of this methodological report is to provide an overview of the quality of the maternal and child health data collected during DHS III and MEASURE DHS+. It is important to note that this assessment is not a response to any concerns, either general or specific, raised by users of the data. It is probably fair to say that within the general community of users, there is a general sense that the data are of very high quality. Rather, it is part of a routine monitoring process. It is desirable to conduct occasional checks and comparisons on the quality of data across surveys. There have been no comprehensive assessments of these data since DHS I and DHS II.

Title: A centile chart for fetal weight for gestational ages 24 - 27 weeks [letter]
Author: Theron GB; Geerts L; Thompson ML; Theron AM
Source: South African Medical Journal. 2008 Apr;98(4):270-271.
Abstract: The centile chart currently in use for Western Cape birth weight for gestational age covers a gestational age range from 28 to 42 weeks. Advances in maternal, fetal and neonatal medicine allow interventions prior to 28 weeks; a growing need therefore exists to extend the chart down to at least 24 weeks. Birth or fetal weight centile charts used in the USA, Canada and the UK provide centiles commencing from either 22 or 24 weeks. These charts may not, however, be appropriate for the population of the Western Cape. The accuracy of fetal or birth weight for gestational age centile charts can be improved by including only women who had their gestational age confirmed by early ultrasound prior to gestational age of 24 weeks. In addition, the birth weight of preterm delivered neonates should not be used to establish a norm, as these infants were delivered following maternal and/or obstetric complications. The ultrasonic estimated fetal weight (EFW) is the method of choice to establish a reference range for weight for gestational age in early gestation. The EFW should be used in preference to any single ultrasound measurement as it relies on multiple measurements. The aim of this study was to construct a centile chart from 24 to 27 weeks for fetal weight for gestational age, taking the above criteria into account. (excerpt)

Abstract: The 2005 Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey provides up-to-date information on the population and health situation in Cambodia. The 2005 CDHS is the second in a series of national demographic and health surveys conducted here. The 2005 CDHS included HIV testing of over 8,000 women and 6,500 men. Ninety-three percent of eligible respondents agreed to be tested for HIV. The 2005 CDHS shows that 0.6 percent of Cambodians age 15-49 are HIV-positive. The percent of men and women who tested positive for HIV (i.e., HIV prevalence) is the same. HIV prevalence is about three times higher in urban areas than in rural areas for both men and women.

Abstract: The 2005-2006 Haiti Survey on Mortality, Morbidity and Utilization of Services included HIV testing of more than 10,000 women and men age 15-49. According to the survey, 2.2% of Haitians age 15-49 are HIV-infected. HIV prevalence is slightly higher among women than men. Prevalence is highest in cities outside of the capital area and lowest in the Capital. For women, prevalence increases with age until it reaches a peak at age 30-34 (4.1%). The peak for men occurs at age 40-44 (4.4%). Prevalence is higher among women than men until age 35. Among men, HIV prevalence decreases as education increases. Men with no education are more than twice as likely as those with secondary or more education to be HIV-positive. There is no clear relationship between education and prevalence among women.
