迄今为止,有关撒哈拉以南非洲城市人口的证据有限,特别是关于增强城市妇女权能与生殖健康成果之间关系的研究。本研究的目的是调查尼日利亚城市环境中妇女赋权是否与计划生育使用和孕产妇健康行为相关。此外,我们研究是否存在不同的影响,增权的居住地区。这项研究使用的基线家庭调查数据的测量,学习和评价项目(MLE)的尼日利亚城市生殖健康倡议(MURHI)正在实施的六个主要城市。我们研究赋权的四个方面:经济自由,对家庭暴力的态度,伴侣禁令和决策。我们使用多变量分析来确定赋权维度是否对居住地区的生殖健康结果有不同的影响。结果表明,妇女权能越强,就越有可能使用现代避孕方法,在保健设施分娩,并在分娩时有熟练的助产士。在尼日利亚,这些趋势因赋权方面和城市/地区而异。最后,我们讨论了这些研究结果对未来的计划,以改善生殖健康的结果在城市尼日利亚和超越的影响。
To date, limited evidence is available for urban populations in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically research into the association between urban women’s empowerment and reproductive health outcomes. The objective of this study is to investigate whether women’s empowerment in urban Nigerian settings is associated with family planning use and maternal health behaviors. Moreover, we examine whether different effects of empowerment exist by region of residence. This study uses baseline household survey data from the Measurement, Learning & Evaluation Project (MLE) for the Nigerian Urban Reproductive Health Initiative (NURHI) being implemented in six major cities. We examine four dimensions of empowerment: economic freedom, attitudes towards domestic violence, partner prohibitions and decision-making. We determine if the empowerment dimensions have different effects on reproductive health outcomes by region of residence using multivariate analyses. Results indicate that more empowered women are more likely to use modern contraception, deliver in a health facility and have a skilled attendant at birth. These trends vary by empowerment dimension and by city/region in Nigeria. We conclude by discussing the implications of these findings on future programs seeking to improve reproductive health outcomes in urban Nigeria and beyond.
