Less than 50% of women in many countries are told about side effects of female sterilization or offered other family planning methods according to a new study by HEXS professor, Dr. Emily Vala-Haynes, and colleague Dr. Apoorva Jadhav from the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cFemale sterilization is an incredibly popular method worldwide, largely owing to its effectiveness and low cost,\u201d says Dr. Vala-Haynes, whose work focuses on international reproductive health. \u201cAbout a fifth of women worldwide are sterilized, with certain geographical hotspots like India, where approximately 75% of women are sterilized.\u201d<\/p>\n
This study addresses an essential service gap and supports recent work that has determined some underlying mechanisms of coercion. Specifically, Drs. Vala-Haynes and Jadhav found that government quotas for sterilization could be contributing to coercion since they promote a focus on quantity \u2013 rather than quality \u2013 of care.<\/p>\n
The findings also suggest an urgent need to improve quality of care within the health systems that provide sterilizations for women. According to Dr. Vala-Haynes, a critical part of this will be training providers.<\/p>\n
\nA woman\u2019s ability to freely and responsibly choose a contraceptive method depends upon several components, one of which is the information supplied to her by a medical provider. Sufficient time and willingness to counsel a woman and ensure she understands the implications of the decision to undergo sterilization will go a long way in ensuring agency and reproductive rights for the woman.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
