Abstract:
This article aims to discuss women's autonomy in decision making on health care, and its determinants in 3 South Asian countries, using nationally representative surveys. Women's participation either alone or jointly in household decisions on their own health care was considered as an indicator of women's autonomy in decision making. The results revealed that decisions of women's health care were made without their participation in the majority of Nepal (72.7%) and approximately half of Bangladesh (54.3%) and Indian (48.5%) households. In Sri Lanka, decision making for contraceptive use was a collective responsibility in the majority (79.7%). Women's participation in decision making significantly increased with age, education, and number of children. Women who were employed and earned cash had a stronger say in household decision making than women who did not work or worked not for cash. Rural and poor women were less likely to be involved in decision making than urban or rich women.

Abstract:
Women's empowerment is essential in achieving global food security while being prioritised as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda. Even though a women’s empowerment role in agriculture received wide attention in works of literature, there is still a research gap about women’s empowerment in Malaysia's agriculture. This study contributes to the status of women’s empowerment and its determinants, as well as challenges to enhance women’s empowerment among rice smallholders in Selangor, Malaysia. By using a framework adapted from the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), 200 smallholder paddy farmers were selected using stratified random sampling. The results revealed vital domains that contributed to women’s empowerment, which provided access to extension services and led to effective decision-making, whereas leadership displayed a negative association. The lack of participation in the planning process and community groups were significant obstacles in enhancing the women's empowerment among rice farmers. These results suggested the scope of possible interventions and policy recommendations to enhance women’s empowerment in agriculture.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the ways in which health promotion campaigns presuppose the pregnant subject and how main stream health promoters construct theories and practices of empowerment, health literacy and rationality. Two Western Australian main stream health promotion campaigns directed at pregnant women in the period 1996 to 1997 (the time of interviewing) and still current at time of writing, will be analysed and comparisons made with the development of health promotion theory and practice generally. The normalisation of medicallscientific approaches toward pregnancy care and behaviour will be illustrated by providing examples from health promotion literature, medical and health journals, popular pregnancy books, magazines and newspaper stories. The assumption that health literacy is the major attribute necessary to enable empowerment is intenogated and the limitations of this perspective illustrated. The second part of the thesis deals more directly with the interview material and illustrates how the women interviewed related to, and engaged with, main stream health information. The diversity with the group of middle class women interviewed is highlighted, and the diferent pfulosophical positions they occupy in relation to main stream health information explored. The complexity and contextual situatedness of women's decision making in relation to notions about health literacy, rationality and empowerment is outlined. The concluding chapters of the thesis discuss the most recent developments in main stream health promtion theory, examining the limitations of social capital theory, social marketing and other health promotion strategies. The conclusion imagines the possible benefits for women as health subjects and main stream health promoters as experts, in rethinking rationality and re-supposing women as positive health subjects that are promising rather than permanently risky and in need of improvement.

Abstract:
Literature review: A systematic review of the existing literature was conducted, eliciting ten studies which met the inclusion criteria examining psychosocial predictors of prophylactic mastectomy in women with a confirmed BRCA gene alteration. Narrative synthesis identified that results coalesced around temporal, familial and other factors including conceptualisation of cancer and perceived risk. The relative scarcity of published research, and an accompanying dominant biomedical focus, highlight that further exploration of psychosocially predictive factors, particularly those which are modifiable, is needed. Research report: Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was utilised to explore five women’s experience and sense-making of their decision to opt for prophylactic mastectomy, and how they experienced the period between opting for preventative surgery and waiting for this to occur. Four superordinate themes were identified: ‘It’s a no-brainer’ illuminated how women approached and made sense of their decision; ‘good breast/bad breast’ reflected women’s experience of simultaneously holding conflicting views towards their breasts; ‘big B on my shoulder’ highlighted worry held in relation to geneticised identity; and ‘the preciousness of life’ illustrated the impact of familial and existential experience. Findings emphasised the importance of clinicians remaining mindful to experiential, emotional and systemic motivations for surgery and to recognise and support women with the potential tension they may still hold as they debate and navigate prophylactic mastectomy. Critical appraisal: A reflective account is presented to support the consolidation of personal and professional learning points and reflections made during the research process.

Abstract:
Objective: Expanding the original scope of the study, which was to explore the decision-making process of pregnant women in the uptake of invasive diagnostic tests - amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) – and taking into account the latest emergence of a Noninvasive Prenatal Testing, NIPT, the primary goal of this study was to explore factors that influence women’s decision to have an invasive, a non-invasive or no further testing at all. Design and sample: The Prenatal Decision Making Questionnaire (PDMQ) developed for the purposes of this study. Following a pilot test and factor analysis, it was distributed to a population of pregnant women (N=421) prior to them receiving their combined screening results. The total sample was divided into three sub-groups according to their risk status (low-intermediate-high) for the analysis. Results. Logistic regression analysis using the R version 3.0.3 revealed that none of the PDMQ factors had a significant impact on women’s decision to have an invasive test (CVS), whereas the following three factors had a significant impact on the decision to have a non-invasive test (NIPT): negative attitude to doctors and an internal locus of control were associated with the uptake of NIPT, whereas a negative attitude to medicine was associated with rejection of NIPT When risk status was included in the model it was found that uptake of NIPT was predicted by the presence of some level of risk for T21 or T13/T18. On the contrary, uptake of CVS was only predicted by an increased risk for T21. Conclusion(s): Women’s decision making process in prenatal diagnosis is affected by several factors with personalised risk being one of the key determinants. The findings of this study can be used by healthcare professionals in providing the appropriate support and information and facilitating an informed decision during this stage of pregnancy.

Full text
Abstract:
Breech presentation affects 3-4% of women pregnant with a single baby after 37 weeks of pregnancy. These women face two key decisions: firstly, whether or not to attempt to turn their baby by external cephalic version (ECV). Secondly, if they decide not to attempt this, or it is unsuccessful, then they need to decide how to give birth to their baby, either by planned caesarean section (CS) or vaginal breech birth (VBB). This thesis explores the process of decision making about breech presentation from both women’s and health professionals’ perspectives and documents the development of a patient decision aid (PDA), consisting of an animated film and website, for women facing these decisions in the future. In this qualitative study, data were collected using observed consultations, semi-structured interviews, with both women and professionals, and user-centred design workshops. Thirty nine women and 30 health professionals were respondents. Data were analysed using constant comparison. The results show that the diagnosis of breech presentation often comes late in pregnancy and begins with uncertainty, partly because many professionals are reluctant to provide information about options until the diagnosis is confirmed by ultrasound examination. Professionals are concerned about causing unnecessary anxiety to women who do not have a breech presentation confirmed, but such an approach fails to take account of women’s clear preference for information as soon as the possibility of breech presentation is raised. Women report researching options online and amongst their social contacts, as they strongly value experiential accounts. However they may struggle to find trustworthy information from these sources as they are frequently told horror stories. Women may also be directively counselled by professionals who have a clear preference for attempting ECV. In response to these themes, a PDA was developed which is freely available to women and includes a website summarising the evidence about the different options. In relation to decision making, women described five key values: wanting to keep their baby safe; wanting to experience a natural birth and to breastfeed; preferring to avoid surgery; needing to be able to care for other children; and wanting to have control. Postnatally, they shared vivid accounts of their experiences of ECV and birth, which were used to inform the script for the animated film that aims to provide the experiential information women wanted and also help them to explore their own values about decision making.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Joellen W. Hawkins
African American women represent a unique group of women in the United States and have a long history of lack of reproductive freedom. Slavery and forced procreation, sterilization abuses, the Eugenics movement, and federally mandated contraception have all impacted on African American women’s independence in contraceptive decision-making. Given this population’s history, it is important for healthcare providers to understand African American women’s contraceptive decision-making, as women often seek their guidance. The purpose of this dissertation research was to discover the intergenerational influences on African American women’s contraceptive decision-making. The specific aims of this study were to: 1) develop an understanding of African American women’s contraceptive decision-making process; 2) identify the factors that influence their decision-making; and 3) develop knowledge that can be used to influence nursing practice. Included in this exploration were questions on the role of mothers and grandmothers in adolescents’ decision-making, familial beliefs about contraceptive choices and whether societal and social factors continue to influence contraceptive decisionmaking in the 21st Century. For this work, I used a qualitative descriptive approach to develop an understanding of the phenomenon from the participants’ worldview. I recruited a purposive sample of 7 triads from a metropolitan community in the northeast United States. I conducted an individual interview, using a semi-structured guide, with each participant. Six themes emerged from the data: 1) southern influences; 2) a worldview of relationships; 3) communication: key to preparedness; 4) seeking information from Mom; 5) "I got caught up in the game"; and 6) contraceptive use and beliefs. African American women's contraceptive decision making is influenced by a variety of factors including familial beliefs, attitudes, culture, and ethnicity. These patterns are transferred to each succeeding generation. Nurses have a significant role to play in providing appropriate contraceptive information and education in a culturally competent context that will meet the needs of these women and their families

Abstract:
Women found to carry mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes have up to an 88% lifetime risk of breast cancer and up to a 65% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer. Strategies to address these heightened risks include breast cancer screening, and risk-reducing (RR) surgeries (i.e., mastectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy). Some women might change their lifestyle or use complementary and alternative medicine to prevent hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). The objectives of this research were to describe: a) the HBOC RR strategies used by women prior to receiving their genetic test results, the influence of individual and psychological factors on the uptake of these strategies, and their risk management information needs, b) how women construct the ‘right time’ to consider RR surgery decisions, and c) the process of making decisions regarding HBOC RR strategies. A survey of 143 women was conducted to address the first objective and in-depth interviews with 22 BRCA1/2 carriers were conducted to address the remaining two objectives. Survey respondents engaged in breast cancer screening at the time of genetic testing and a sub-group modified their lifestyle to reduce their cancer risk. Qualitative analyses revealed women’s constructions of the ‘right time’ to consider RR surgery decisions to be when: (1) decisions fit into their lives, (2) they had enough time to think about decisions, (3) they were ready emotionally, (4) all the issues and conflicts were sorted out, (5) there were better options available, and (6) the health care system was ready for them. Grounded theory analyses suggested that the overarching process of making decisions about HBOC RR strategies was one of ‘preserving the self.’ This process was shaped by the characteristics of health services, the nature of HBOC RR decisions, gendered roles, and the women’s perceived proximity to cancer. The women engaged in five decision-making styles, which were characterized by combinations of seven decision-making approaches. Findings from these three studies capture the diverse trajectories of decision making about HBOC risk management and highlight the role of personal and social context in shaping these decisions.

Abstract This chapter explores the livelihood and care implications of the climate crisis from a gendered viewpoint that includes the implications of this approach for climate decision making at multiple scales, from local to global. The focus is on grassroots political organizing, activism, and movements as well as women's community-based actions to (re)build social resilience in the face of climate chaos. Challenges and policy implications are discussed as governments struggle to meaningfully and equitably address climate change. Also highlighted are the transformational imperatives of care and livelihood priorities which cast into stark relief the unsustainability of the long-established gender inequities that serve as the foundation for economic systems everywhere.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines the gendered effects of drought-induced migration in rural Morocco for settler migrants and farmers who stay behind in sending communities. Due to state investments in irrigation, the Saiss plains of Morocco are experiencing rural-rural migration as an adaptive strategy for many who are escaping climate change and unemployment, to take advantage of labor opportunities in agricultural sectors elsewhere. The well-being and decision making power of male and female migrants in receiving communities (Betit and Sidi Slimane) and women staying behind in sending communities (Ain Jemaa) are examined. The chapter begins with a literature review on decision making power, gender, migration, and work in rural areas. Following this, the case study characteristics are presented, which detail how climate change is fueling migration, gender norms in host and sending communities, as well as the gender dynamics in accessing economic opportunities and decision making power. The chapter ends with recommendations to strengthen the women's decision making power as migration continues, with a focus on strengthening landed property ownership for women.

Abstract:
The "Financial Behavior" in the field of "decision making" is the topic that awarded the economist Richard H. Thaler the Nobel Prize in 2017. According to him, after many investigations made on human decisions, it is noticed that they often depend on nature, intuition, habits, cognitive biases, emotional biases which lead the investor to wrong decisions. Given that the investments play an important and central role in the economy, the main purpose of the paper is to analyze the investment decision making process based on emotional bias, or more specifically the overconfidence bias. This study captures the impact of gender, and level of education on overconfidence during investment decision making in North Macedonia. The results show that investors' decisions were significantly influenced by the overconfidence bias. Although men and women are found to be overconfident, studies have shown that the degree of overconfidence varies among them and men are more overconfident than women. Also, overconfidence increases with the level of education. Based on the results certain recommendations are provided in order to assist future investment decision-making processes by notifying and eliminating the overconfidence bias identified during this research as a key factor leading to wrong and failing, non-rational investment decision making.

Abstract:
Increasingly, organizations are oriented towards groups to make decisions. This is because some contextual factors have undergone significant changes. Companies are operating in a competitive, dynamic and complex environment, having to face with unstructured and non-programmed decisions. Organizations are also oriented towards participatory processes in order to benefit from the important advantages that these processes offer. The main goal of the current research is to understand if there is a correlation between group decision-making propensity, age and gender. The motivation for the current research starts from the consideration that the degree of preference for group decision-making processes determines the contribution and commitment of the members, with important consequences on the decisions’ effectiveness. The processing and analysis of the collected data indicate that adults prefer group decision-making processes more than young people and women prefer group decision-making processes less than men.

Abstract:
Abstract Gender equality in the energy sector is still a challenge for the timely attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 on empowering women. To enable solutions roadmaps, the UN Expert Group on Resource Management launched "Women in Resource Management" in April 2019. This paper summarizes the initiative's progress to date and how it maneuvered through the pandemic, delivering several quick wins benefitting women in oil and gas, geothermal, and mining. The initiative focuses on the energy sector (Oil & Gas, Renewables, Mining). As per the UNECE - Gender 2020 annual report, "The Women in Resource Management aims to determine achievable, global outreach goals to explore how resource management can help attain SDG 5, recognizing the importance to provide women and girls with, inter alia, equal access to education and decent work, and that their representation in economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies". Work done till May 2021 includes:Review of a series of resource management projects to evaluate challenges and opportunities in enhancing performance from the perspective of gender.Selection of cases and country-specific study cases that exemplify how SDG 5 aims could be applied in resource management. The initiative deliverables and timeline for the future include:Dialogues on policy, aimed to boost gender participation in resource managementA network of women engaged in resource management projectsWebinars with global outreachIssue recommendations for the consideration and incrementing the participation of gender in resource management A comparison of critical elements considered diagnostic for women's empowerment such as female workforce percentages, participation of women in leadership and technical roles across several segments of resource management will be assessed per region with a global outlook. Other indicators valuable for the proposed assessment will be shared in this paper covering communication programmes and tools, empowerment and knowledge-sharing workshops, strategies and frameworks to increase active participation and awareness of women and men on the importance of gender equality for the sustainability of the energy sector. The initiative's roadmap was shared to collectively join efforts in an initiative that needs to compel the related organizations and stakeholders to generate step-changing actions to attain SDG 5 by 2030 and fully benefit from the impacts of diversity and inclusion in resource management, which benefit the sector. The participation of women in technical, organizational and leadership roles in resource management is imperative to ensure the sustainability of the energy sector in actionable paths. The roadmap and quick wins shared in this paper will inspire governmental, private, not-for-profit, multilateral, and other organizations dealing with the complex objective of incrementing the participation of women in resource management. The pursuit of gender equality strategies enables the success of SDG 5, especially if done with a collaborative effort that creates social and economic value at a global scale. Immediate objectives of the future activities of this initiative are to shape teams to address and advance research, communication of best practices and opportunities in mining (minerals and U/To resources), Oil and Gas, Renewables (including groundwater) and Public Sector and Talent Development.

Abstract:
This rapid review searched for literature on how and why women continue to struggle in Somaliland to achieve formal political representation and to take on informal decision-making roles on local peace and political matters, from community to national levels. Women’s participation in peacebuilding and political decision-making in Somaliland is very limited. A key barrier is the clan system underpinning Somaliland’s political settlement. Entrenched and politicised, patriarchal clans exclude women (and other minority groups) from formal and customary leadership and decision-making roles. Other contributing factors are conservative religious attitudes and traditional gender norms. Structural inequalities – such as low levels of education, lack of funds, and high levels of violence towards women and girls – impede women’s participation. Some women are more disempowered than others, such as women from minority clans and internally displaced women. However, there is increasing disillusionment with clan politicisation and a growing recognition of women’s value. There are opportunities for framing gender equality in local cultural and religious terms and supporting grassroots activism.

Abstract:
This peer-reviewed research and policy paper draws on analysis of how women influence decision making in Indonesia's multi-level governance structure under the new Village Law in Indonesia. The analysis identifies the ways that women, through different causal processes, influence development priorities, spending, projects, policies and policy actors, as well as social norms in communities. The analysis draws from a large, qualitative comparative study conducted in different places throughout Indonesia, providing an analytical framework for understanding variation in social and politico-economic contexts in terms of the constraints and opportunities for gender inclusion and women's empowerment. The research also explains variations in the processes by which women exercise voice and influence in these differing contexts, providing considerations for policy makers and others concerned with gender inclusion, women's empowerment and everyday wellbeing.
