Unwanted pregnancy is thus a key risk factor for adverse pregnancy and maternal outcomes, including mortality, morbidity and unsafe induced abortions. Scholars have argued that existing research on unwanted pregnancy in Kenya has been inattentive to its dynamics at community levels, and to how livelihood realities impinge on it. The quantitative bias of extant research has also hindered systematic understanding of lay beliefs, perceptions, and experiences related to unwanted pregnancy in Kenya, leaving critical gaps in our understanding of the issues which circumscribe it in Kenya. To begin to fill these gaps in unwanted pregnancy research in Kenya, we propose a study to (a) investigate the prevalence, drivers and management of unwanted pregnancy in slum and non-slum urban settlements of Kenya and (b) interrogate the beliefs, perceptions, attitudes and experiences surrounding unwanted pregnancy among Kenyan women who reside in these settlements Findings from this study can inform the design of more effective reproductive health and family planning policies and programs  in Kenya and elsewhere.","time_periods":[{"start":"2013-08-26","end":"2013-09-07","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2010-12-28","end":"2013-09-02","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"KENYA","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"Two slum settlements - Korogocho and Viwandani- and two non-slum settlements- Harambee and Jericho all in Nairobi - Kenya","analysis_unit":"Individuals","universe":"Women aged 15 - 49 years residing in the two slum and the two non-slum settlements","notes":"Information has been collected from women and girls on their pregnancy and birth experiences, and on how these are related to unwanted pregnancy and how they were managed.\n\nThe scope of this study includes : \n\n- Socio- demographic characteristics\n\n- Reproduction\n\n- Birth histories\n\n- Pregnancies","study_scope":"Information has been collected from women and girls on their pregnancy and birth experiences, and on how these are related to unwanted pregnancy and how they were managed.\n\nThe scope of this study includes : \n\n- Socio- demographic characteristics\n\n- Reproduction\n\n- Birth histories\n\n- Pregnancies"},"method":{"data_collection":{"frequency":"Data entry was done at the office using CSO Pro.","sampling_procedure":"A two-stage sampling strategy will be used to recruit the study participants.
