Cel The general objective is to deploy an African network for research and analysis of human reproduction and maternal health in six West African countries.The specific objectives are to:* Assess the magnitude of abortion complications in several maternities of the following six West African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea and Senegal.* Describe the type of abortion complications and the health consequences in terms of maternal morbidity and mortality.* Identify specific determinants of women seeking care for abortion complications.Project methodologyThe methodology will include a descriptive (demo-epidemiological) survey with a complementary qualitative (sociological) approach.Expected OutcomeAt the end of this project we expect to know the incidence of first trimester obstetrical complications (abortion, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy), and be able to describe the main causes of abortion complications for women admitted to maternities in different sites in the six African countries. The project will give a better understanding of the reproductive knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of women in several sites (urban and rural) of West and Central Africa. EU-African networking will be further developed and will be made available in the field.Point 1: - reception of the administrative and scientist agreement to participate - reception of the names of the coordinators and of the field workers - obtention of a first version of the registerPoint 2: - results of the pre-test; obtention and print of the final version of the register - obtention of a brief description of each site (medical and para medical personnel, number of admissions, number of births per year, etc.)Point 3: - obtention of a first data set after two months of data collectionPoint 4: - results of the qualitative studyPoint 5: - obtention of the complete data sets (from the registers) Dziedzina nauki social sciencessociologydemographymortalitymedical and health sciencesclinical medicineobstetrics Program(-y) FP4-INCO - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of cooperation with third countries and international organizations, 1994-1998 Temat(-y) 03010304 - Complementary areas bridging science and application Zaproszenie do składania wniosków Data not available System finansowania CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Koordynator INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 78,Avenue du Général Leclerc 78, ADR 15, Ile-de-Franc 94275 LE KREMLIM BICETRE Francja Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych Uczestnicy (7) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko Association Sénégalaise en santé de la Réproduction Senegal Wkład UE Brak danych Adres Avenue Pasteur 30 Dakar Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Yopougon Wybrzeże Kości Słoniowej Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 20 Abidjan Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych Centre de Recherche en Réproduction Humaine et en Démographie Benin Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 1,Recette Principal 10 Cotonou Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Szwajcaria Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 30,Boulevard de la Cluse 1211 Genève 14 Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych University of Oslo Norwegia Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 0316 Oslo Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych University of Yaoundé I Kamerun Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 10 Yaoundé Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych Université Donka Gwinea Wkład UE Brak danych Adres 10 Conakry Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych
