Measuring contraceptive use in a displacement-affected population using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey: The case of Iraq - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35677661/
Access to safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable contraceptive methods of choice is a basic right for displaced people. Yet displaced people are typically invisible in national sample surveys on population...
Relevance: This paper highlights the methodological potential and substantive value of using national household surveys to analyse reproductive health outcomes through a displacement lens. It also critically examines the limitations of these data and measures, drawing on total survey error and feminist theory.

Conclusions: In the scenario predicted for Brazil and Mexico, the costs of modern family planning and averted disability-adjusted life years are modest. Governments in Latin America and the Caribbean should consider promoting LARCs as a highly efficient and cost-effective intervention.
Profile of estetrol, a promising native estrogen for oral contraception and the relief of climacteric symptoms of menopause - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35306927/
Extensive studies have elucidated the properties of E4 that underlie its favorable safety profile. While classical estrogens (such as estradiol) exert their actions via both activation of nuclear and membrane...
Expert opinion:
Extensive studies have elucidated the properties of E4 that underlie its favorable safety profile. While classical estrogens (such as estradiol) exert their actions via both activation of nuclear and membrane estrogen receptor α (ERα), E4 presents a specific profile of ERα activation: E4 binds and activates nuclear ERα but...
Association of Chlamydia trachomatis infection with cervical atypia in adolescent women with short-term or long-term use of oral contraceptives: a longitudinal study in HPV vaccinated women
Source : https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/6/e056824
Objective We assessed the relationship between Chlamydia trachomatis infection, duration of oral contraceptive (OC) use and cervical atypia among young adult Finnish women. Design A longitudinal study. Setting and participants...
Conclusions:
The risk of SIL in HPV vaccinated women is significantly increased if they are C. trachomatis positive and have used OC for 5 or more years. The biological basis may be lack of condom facilitated protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
Awareness of the non-contraceptive benefits of reversible contraceptive methods in a cohort of Brazilian women: an exploratory study - PubMed

Conclusions:
We found low awareness regarding the associated lower risk of ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancer associated with the use of some contraceptives, evidencing the need to provide more information about the non-contraceptive benefits during training for health care providers.
