Abstract:
Standard components of nonclinical toxicity testing for novel pharmaceuticals include clinical and anatomic pathology, as well as separate evaluation of effects on reproduction and development to inform clinical development and labeling. General study designs in regulatory guidances do not specifically mandate use of pathology or reproductive end points across all study types; thus, inclusion and use of these end points are variable. The Scientific and Regulatory Policy Committee of the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) formed a Working Group to assess the current guidelines and practices on the use of reproductive, anatomic pathology, and clinical pathology end points in general, reproductive, and developmental toxicology studies. The Working Group constructed a survey sent to pathologists and reproductive toxicologists, and responses from participating organizations were collected through the STP for evaluation by the Working Group. The regulatory context, relevant survey results, and collective experience of the Working Group are discussed and provide the basis of each assessment by study type. Overall, the current practice of including specific end points on a case-by-case basis is considered appropriate. Points to consider are summarized for inclusion of reproductive end points in general toxicity studies and for the informed use of pathology end points in reproductive and developmental toxicity studies.

Abstract:
In their recent PLS article, Ken R. Daniels and Karyn Taylor (1993) advocate policies of openness in regard to donor insemination (DI). In this commentary, I examine openness within the social context of fertility, infertility, human reproduction, and social parenthood in Cameroon. The traditional concept of secrecy in reproductive failure, especially in the case of male infertility, is outlined. Some of the social alternatives, such as natural insemination and social parenthood, are discussed. The inappropriateness of openness in DI within a sociocultural milieu that places a high premium on male reproductive ability is highlighted.

Abstract:
The problems of demographic development and, above all, the state of reproductive processes in the Republic of Belarus are considered. Based on their analysis, it is noted that reproductive processes in the country tend to worsen, they generate depopulation processes and pose a threat to demographic security. The article analyzes the results of the population census of the Republic of Belarus in 2019. The interpretation of the census data on the reproductive attitudes of Belarusian women is given. The conclusion is made about the role of the subjective factor in demographic processes and the importance of the active demographic policy of the state. It is noted that the social demographic policy has ceased to be state in recent years, and it is subordinated to the necessary, but departmental interests. The article formulates a provision on the implementation of demographic policy aimed at the formation of prestige of family values, aimed at stimulating medium- and large-child reproductive attitudes.

Abstract:
From Gattaca to Star Trek, problematic tropes surrounding reproduction can easily be found in works of mainstream science fiction. Such tropes uphold conservative anxieties around reproductive technologies, abortion, and pregnancy, and these works thus become influential in legal, ethical, and policy discussions on these issues. In contrast, feminist science fiction attempts to expose reproductive injustice, both current and future, through portrayals of prototype social-legal contexts. In this article, I argue that feminist science fiction works are, therefore, of importance for feminist legal theory as they can help us imagine a radically transformed future for reproduction. I consider the work of Octavia Butler and Laura Lam as examples of reproductive dystopia highlighting current, past, and potential future socio-legal injustices. These feminist works call for change grounded in the lived experiences of women and people capable of becoming pregnant.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this thesis is the current policy situation in relation to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in Aotearoa/New Zealand. I explore how government policies (and lack of policy) have shaped access to ART. I also explore the policy initiatives of funding agencies, the National Ethics Committee on Assisted Human Reproduction (NECAHR), managers, healthcare professionals, and interest groups. My investigation into ART policy issues critically examines the various formal mechanisms and policies used to regulate and control ART in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Drawing on my analysis of policy-focused documents and material from in-depth interviews with key actors in the policy debate, I demonstrate how the ad hoc and contingent approach to ART developments, practices, funding, and access has contributed to inconsistent and inequitable access to ART services. I argue that the lack of an ART-specific policy organisation contributes to fragmented, and possibly discriminatory, policy decisions. I examine how the use of restrictive access criteria to manage the increasing demand for publicly funded ART services disadvantages certain groups wishing to use these services. By investigating the influence of rationing strategies on the allocation of resources and regulation of access, I provide some appreciation of the 'messy reality' of policy creation, interpretation, and implementation. I argue that the criteria used to limit access to public ART services obscure the use of social judgements and provider discretion. Likewise, they succeed in limiting publicly funded ART treatments to those who conform most effectively to the normative definition of family. My analysis of the ART policy discourse identifies silences and gaps in relation to specific ART practices, particularly the use of ART by Maori. I highlight the invisibility and marginalisation of Maori within the ART policy debate. After examining the broader issues concerning Maori access to health services, I explore how these may affect Maori using ART services to overcome infertility. I argue that the gathering of information about the utilisation of ART services is crucial for the accurate identification of the needs of Maori. It is also fundamental for effective monitoring of state health policy decisions and outcomes.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I investigate policies and programs to improve reproductive health. My thesis makes a substantive contribution to reproductive health policy and a methodological contribution to quasi-experimental research. In chapter 1, I evaluate the impact of a mobile phone intervention for adolescent girls. I design and implement a randomized controlled trial in Ghana to test whether sending information via mobile phones is an effective way to improve girls’ knowledge of sexual health and to ultimately reduce teenage pregnancy. I find that mobile phone programs are effective not only in increasing knowledge, but also in decreasing risk of pregnancy among sexually active adolescents. I discuss the results in the context of sexual education policy in Ghana. In chapter 2, I explore the complex interactions between migration and reproductive health. I reconstruct the complete migration and reproductive health histories of women residing in the urban slums of Accra, Ghana. Using individual fixed effects to reduce selection bias, I find an increased risk of pregnancy, miscarriage, and abortion in the 48 months after migration, with no significant increase in the chance of live birth during this time period. With half of abortions in Ghana classified as unsafe, these results suggest that policies which target the rapidly growing number of urban migrants by providing access to contraception and public hospital services may reduce unsafe abortion and improve maternal health outcomes. In chapter 3, I investigate the bias of standard errors in difference-in-difference estimation, which typically evaluates the effect of a group-level intervention on individual data. Common modeling adjustments for grouped data, such as cluster-robust standard errors, are biased when the number of clusters is small. I run Monte Carlo simulations to investigate both the coverage and power of a wide variety of modeling solutions from the econometric and biostatistics fields, while varying the balance of cluster sizes, the degree of error correlation, and the proportion of treated clusters. I then apply my results to re-evaluate a recently published study on the effect of emergency contraception on adolescent sexual behavior. I find that the study’s results claiming that emergency contraception increases risky sexual behavior may be spurious once proper adjustments for grouped data are applied.

Abstract:
This research is one contribution to understanding the nature of policy and of power. the interaction of the state and its machinery with individuals at all levels, the tensions between public and private choices and responsibilities, between public health and clinical health care. Adapting a policy analysis approach, this thesis provides a case study of the development and implementation of reproductive health policies in Ghana. The aim is to enhance understanding of why there are differences between policy and practice and what the potentials are for integrating STD/HIV management into MCH/FP services in Ghana to improve reproductive health. This thesis argues that all elements of policy and policy analysis are located within a 'contextual framework' and are influenced by a range of contextual factors (defined and illustrated through the thesis) which are seldom taken into account in policy process and analysis. It is argued that understanding the different levels of context is fundamental to understanding the processes of policy development and implementation, the actions of actors at all levels and the policy outcomes. Using a multi-level focus and a combination of approaches, this thesis identifies the contextual factors and their manifestations at each level of the policy process and illustrates how they impact on policy. The analysis synthesises macro and micro dimensions gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the influences on and gaps between policy development and implementation. At the implementation level, 27 clinics were visited and 94 clinic staff interviewed in one rural region of Ghana, to ascertain what STD/HIV management services are actually being provided and what factors influence service provision (policy implementation). Interviews with community leaders and focus groups with villagers were conducted in the same region to explore community perspectives of disease and health care services and understand the factors influencing service utilisation (policy outcome). The role of the regional health administration as an intermediary was considered and understanding sought of the concepts of power which influence administrative and management structures. The national level interviews with government and Ministry of Health officials and with donor, NGO and national group representatives, provide further insight into the concepts of power and status and who influences policy making. Finally, all elements are brought together and discussed, a reworked framework is presented and suggestions for future policy and research directions are made.

Abstract:
In the last 30 years, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has created a significant amount of controversy around the world. Within the U.S., policy movement has been limited, occurring primarily at the state level, which has created a fragmented system of rules to manage the technology. However, there appear to be indications that how the issue is presented, and which actors are chosen to be represented in legislation, may impact the passage of policy, thereby also providing a reason for why little policy movement has occurred. In this study, pieces of federal, California and Georgia legislation were examined for the occurrence of differing frames, as identified by the actors presented, in order to determine whether different frames occurred in passed legislation than those found in failed legislation. It was determined that, while actors did not differ significantly between passed and failed legislation, there were some slight differences between actors used at the federal level, as well between the different state levels. Even further, the presentation of actors and their interests did appear to differ slightly between passed and failed legislation.

Abstract:
Issues related to reproductive health are being increasingly recognised by the international community to contributing greatly towards eliminating gender-based health disparity. And in recent years, normative developments have proliferated both in the international and domestic arena. This thesis showcases the level of implementation of women’s right to reproductive health in Ethiopia. In so doing, it questions the international legal footings of this specific right. Implementation in this context is grappled with various obstacles such as balancing low economic resource setting with fulfilling economically demanding obligations; and/or eliminating entrenched harmful cultural traditions while enhancing acceptability of services. The research adopts a set contextual human rights indicators to sift the legal framework and health system of Ethiopia with a view to assessing the level of implementation. It identifies existing gaps and seeks to forward recommendations.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis explored the drivers and inhibitors of change in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) policy and legislation in Kenya. The overall purpose was to contribute to the limited knowledge on national-level debates that shape how developing countries adapt the SRH agenda, which originated from international processes. The thesis explains how and why some SRH reforms have been realised in Kenya amid contention, while others have been blocked. Guided by a synthesis conceptual framework that emphasised the central role of discursive power in decision-making, the thesis adopted a qualitative case-study design enriched with various anthropological concepts. Three case-studies (two bureaucratic, i.e. adolescent RH policy and national RH policy, and one legislative, i.e. sexual offences law) were deconstructed. Data collection involved semi-structured in-depth interviews with policy actors, observations and note-taking in meetings, and document review. Findings revealed that four influential narratives of SRH – the moral narrative, cultural narrative, medical narrative (with two variations i.e. ‘moralised' versus ‘comprehensive' medical narratives), and human rights narrative – underpinned by conflicting actor interests, mediated the interplay of actor networks, knowledge, context and institutions to determine reforms. The findings revealed that the strong entrenchment of the moral and cultural narratives in the Kenyan context (mainly public structures and institutions) was a major barrier to reforms on contested SRH issues. Even then, the hegemonic narratives were in some cases unsettled to make reforms possible. The most important factors in unsettling the hegemonic narratives to facilitate reforms included: a change in the political context that brought in new political actors supportive of reforms, the presence of knowledgeable and charismatic issue champions within political and bureaucratic institutions, the availability of compelling knowledge (scientific or lay) on an issue, sustained evidence-informed advocacy by civil society/non-governmental organisations, donor pressure, and reduced political costs (for politicians and bureaucrats) for supporting reforms. The main contribution of the thesis is three-fold. First, the thesis captures the disconnect between international SRH agreements and national-level realities, showing the need for international actors to consider national-level realities that shape decision-making. Second, its findings provide lessons for informing future SRH reform efforts in Kenya and in other sub-Saharan African countries. Third, its analysis of discursive power contributes to a major theoretical gap in health systems research in developing countries identified as lack of critical analysis of power in decision-making.

Abstract:
The article examines some aspects of the determination of reproductive behaviour, whose research results open up great opportunities for their ambiguous interpretation. New methodological approaches are necessary in order to improve the correctness of such studies. This applies to the analysis of the relationship between the age at birth of the first child and planned number of children, the effect of living standards on reproductive behaviour, self-assessment of obstacles associated with the birth of children. Particular attention is paid to a barely explored issue of the impact of value systems on reproductive intentions in the context of combined motives for the birth of children and self-assessment of relevant obstacles. Value systems play a significant role in determining reproductive behaviour, which should be taken into account in demographic policy.

Abstract:
Abstract. Introduction. The protection of the reproductive health of the working-age population is the most important direction of State policy. In 5-15% of cases, the causes of reproductive dysfunction are immunological disorders. Benzene belongs to the group of industrial reprotoxicants, however, its effect of benzene on the reproductive system has not been sufficiently studied. Objective: to study the immunological aspects of the effect of benzene on the reproductive system. Methods. We examined 50 men exposed to benzene with reproductive disorders (26-49 years old), as well as 4 workers with normal sexual function aged 53-60 years. Spontaneous and induced changes in the cellular expression of apoptosis markers were studied. For the study, the ANNEXIN V-FITC/7-AAD kit was used for the detection of cells that have undergone apoptosis. The experiment was conducted in vitro using a biological medium (ejaculate). A factor of the chemical nature was benzene. Results. According to the results of the comparative analysis, there were no significant deviations of pathogenetic tests of immunological markers in comparison with the reference level in the spontaneous expression samples, but there was an excess of expression of the CD95 + cell death receptor (p<0.05) in 30% of the samples examined, and a decrease in the number of Annexin V-FITC+7AAD negative cells (without reaching the significance level) in samples with a load of (15%). There was a difference in the expression levels of CD95+ and CD25+ CD-reception indicators by 20% and 10% in relation to the spontaneous level (p<0.05). Representatives of the chemical group of aromatic hydrocarbons realize reprotoxicity, using the mechanism of excessive induction of the membrane signaling of the cell death receptor, accelerate the natural program of cell death by approximately 20% compared to the state of reproductive cells that were not stimulated. Conclusion. At the present stage, one of the tasks of occupational medicine is to study the effect of chemicals on the processes of reproduction, to develop new approaches to assessing the risk of their impact on the reproductive health of workers.

Global challenges to demographic development. Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.17059/udf-2022-3-1.

Abstract:
The article considers the issues of participation of different age groups in interregional migration exchange in the Republic of Bashkortostan during 2016-2020. The main directions of interregional migration are analysed based on official statistics. The regions with the closest migration ties are identified; the age structure of migration flows to these regions is characterised. The migration intensity of individual age groups is revealed. The interregional migration exchange of Bashkortostan is characterised by age differentiation. The age structure of migration flows from Bashkortostan to individual entities of the Russian Federation differs, indicating the migration attractiveness of certain regions for different categories of the population. The interregional exchange of the republic leads to significant migration losses among young age groups, which weakens the reproductive and marriage potential of the region. Therefore, it is necessary to create such measures of regional social and migration policy that would contribute to the preservation and development of the socio-demographic potential of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction: In Qatar, while most of the country’s demographic situations have been widely studied, much less attention has been paid to the determinants of Qatari women’s sociodemographic characteristics and the prevalence of family planning methods. This raises the following question: How, and to what extent, do population dynamics that stratify national populations by age; sex; marital status; and level of education, income, and employment contribute to the declining of fertility rate and cause mortality differentials in Qatar. Materials and methods: Data from a 2018 fertility survey project with a random sample of 607 Qatari households, collected via personal interviews using a questionnaire and a computer assisted personal interview, by the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute at Qatar University, was examined based on a multi-dimensional model. The data were analyzed using logistic and Poisson regression techniques. Results: The data show that Qatari women’s total fertility rate is 3.2, with women in the 20–29 age group having the highest fertility rates. Evaluating the effects of women’s educational attainment and employment status revealed no significant factors influencing the agespecific fertility rate of Qatari women. In addition, the results indicate that the most common contraceptive method currently used among Qatari women is pills (29%), and their use is more prevalent among older Qatari women who have had more children than among younger Qatari women with fewer children. Conclusion/ future direction: The paper provides comprehensive policy recommendations for increasing the reproductive rate in Qatar by providing supporting programs to increase the total fertility rate and childbearing rates among Qatari women. It also promotes the provision of high-quality family planning services.

"Assessment of the Dynamics of the Main Indicators of Population Reproduction in the Republic of Khakassia in the Context of Siberian and All-Russian Trends in the Post-Soviet Period." In XII Ural Demographic Forum “Paradigms and models of demographic development”. Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.17059/udf-2021-2-17.

Full text
Abstract:
The article presents the dynamics of population reproduction processes in the Republic of Khakassia, comparing the data of the last census conducted in the USSR in 1989 and similar indicators of the Siberian Federal District and Russia as a whole. It is shown that after the rapid deterioration of both components of population reproduction in the 1990s, the demographic situation in the country has been significantly improving since 2006, including due to targeted demographic policy measures. However, in the last years, negative trends in demographic processes have formed, primarily because of a decrease in the number of births. As a result, after 10 years of positive natural growth in the Republic of Khakassia (2007–2016), the population decline resumed with a negative trend that continues to the present. The age structure, which has changed dramatically in comparison with the Soviet period, will determine further negative prospects in the demographic sphere. The research results can be used to improve demographic policy, including at the regional level.

Abstract:
The majority of sexually active girls aged 15–19 in developing countries are married, and married adolescent girls tend to have higher rates of HIV infection than their sexually active, unmarried peers. Married adolescent girls represent a sizable fraction of adolescents at risk and experience some of the highest rates of HIV prevalence of any group. Nonetheless, married adolescents have been marginal in adolescent HIV/AIDS policies and programs and have not been the central subjects for programs aimed at adult married women. This paper offers a partial explanation for why married adolescents have so often been overlooked, the reasons why marriage might bring elevated risk of HIV, initial analytic tools to assist policymakers in determining how to accord appropriate levels of priority to the marriage process, five brief case studies, and a menu of potential policy interventions and actions to make married adolescents an integral part of reproductive health and HIV-prevention initiatives.

Abstract:
This brief is based on a background paper prepared for the WHO/UNFPA/Population Council Technical Consultation on Married Adolescents, held in Geneva, Switzerland, December 9–12, 2003. The final paper is entitled “Including married adolescents in adolescent reproductive health and HIV/AIDS policy.” The consultation brought together experts from the United Nations, donors, and nongovernmental agencies to consider the evidence regarding married adolescent girls’ reproductive health, vulnerability to HIV infection, social and economic disadvantage, and rights. The relationships to major policy initiatives—including safe motherhood, HIV, adolescent sexual and reproductive health, and reproductive rights—were explored, and emerging findings from the still relatively rare programs that are directed at this population were discussed. Married adolescent girls are outside the conventionally defined research interests, policy diagnosis, and basic interventions that have underpinned adolescent reproductive health programming and many HIV/AIDS prevention activities. They are an isolated, often numerically large, and extremely vulnerable segment of the population, largely untouched by current intervention strategies. As stated in this brief, promoting later marriage, to at least age 18, and shoring up protection options within marriage may be essential means of stemming the epidemic.

Leroux, Marie-Louise, Pierre Pestieau, and Gregory Ponthiere. The optimal design of assisted reproductive technologies policies. CIRANO, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.54932/ezmm9028.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper studies the optimal design of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) policies in an economy where individuals differ in their reproductive capacity (or fecundity) and in their wage. We find that the optimal ART policy varies with the postulated social welfare criterion. Utilitarianism redistributes only between individuals with unequal fecundity and wages but not between parents and childless individuals. To the opposite, ex post egalitarianism (which gives absolute priority to the worst-off in realized terms) redistributes from individuals with children toward those without children, and from individuals with high fecundity toward those with low fecundity, so as to compensate for both the monetary cost of ART and for the disutility from involuntary childlessness resulting from unsuccessful ART investments. Under asymmetric information and in order to solve for the incentive problem, utilitarianism recommends also to either tax or subsidize ART investments of low-fecundity-low productivity individuals depending on the degree of complementarity between fecundity and ART in the fertility technology. On the opposite, ex post egalitarianism always recommends marginal taxation.

Jejeebhoy, Shireen J. Addressing women's reproductive health needs: Priorities for the Family Welfare Programme. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1033.

Full text
Abstract:
India's national family welfare program has two objectives—to address the needs of families, notably women and children, and to reduce population growth rates. In reality, the program has been disproportionately focused on achieving demographic targets by increasing contraceptive prevalence. In this process, women's needs have been overlooked, in terms of poor reproductive health (RH). There is a need to reorient program priorities to focus more holistically on RH needs and on woman-based services that respond to health needs in ways sensitive to the sociocultural constraints women and adolescent girls face in acquiring services and expressing health needs. This report presents a profile of substantive needs in the area of women's RH. It contains a brief overview of the demographic situation and the thrust of the program in India, points out gender disparities and constraints women face in acquiring quality health services, focuses on the RH situation and highlights the gaps between needs and available services, and sets out priorities for policy. It raises the need for greater attention to RH and services that are more focused on women, both adult and adolescent, in India, and discusses activities appropriate for further support.

Abstract:
This brief is based on a paper prepared for the WHO/UNFPA/Population Council Technical Consultation on Married Adolescents, held in Geneva, Switzerland, December 9–12, 2003. The consultation brought together experts from the United Nations, donors, and nongovernmental agencies to consider the evidence regarding married adolescent girls’ reproductive health, vulnerability to HIV infection, social and economic disadvantage, and rights. The relationships to major policy initiatives—including safe motherhood, HIV, adolescent sexual and reproductive health, and reproductive rights—were explored, and emerging findings from the still relatively rare programs that are directed at this population were discussed. Despite the program attention and funding that have been devoted to adolescents, early marriage and married adolescents have fallen largely outside of the field’s concern. Comprising the majority of sexually active adolescent girls in developing countries, this large and vulnerable subpopulation has received neither program and policy consideration in the adolescent sexual and reproductive health field, nor special attention from reproductive health and development programs for adult women. While adolescent girls, irrespective of marital status, are vulnerable in many settings and deserve program, policy, and resource support, the purpose of this brief is to describe the distinctive and often disadvantaged situations of married girls and to propose possible future policy and program options.

Full text
Abstract:
India, the second most populous country in the world, experienced an accelerated decline in fertility during the 1980s. As a result, India’s total fertility rate (TFR) in 1993, 3.5 births per woman, is below the level presumed in the population projections of the United Nations and the World Bank. This favorable development has occurred as India is attempting to reorient its family planning program to focus on the reproductive health of women and the health and welfare of children. The method-specific targets for contraceptive acceptors assigned to every grassroots health worker were abandoned in April 1996. Against this backdrop, this paper seeks to analyze the components of future population growth in India based on a series of hypothetical projections using alternative assumptions about the future decline in fertility. Only one assumption is made about the pace of mortality decline. The likely consequences of the prospective population growth and the policy options for accelerating fertility decline are also discussed.

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated and drawn fresh attention to long-standing systemic weaknesses in health and economic systems. The virus – and the public health response – has wrought significant disruption on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) in Bangladesh. Known negative health outcomes include increased domestic and gender-based violence, child marriage, negative mental health, and adverse child health outcomes. This scoping paper for the Covid-19 Learning, Evidence and Research Programme for Bangladesh (CLEAR) aims to inform future research and policy engagement to support response, recovery, progress, and future health system resilience for SRHR and MNCH in Bangladesh, following the Covid-19 crisis. We present what is known on disruptions and impacts, as well as evidence gaps and priority areas for future research and engagement.
